I could hardly believe the amount of new rotorua motels that have sprung up over the years since I was last there. It has been about ten years since I last visited the place but the growth of the area has just been huge. I know it has always been a big tourist destination and it appears that it has just grown in popularity, hence the increase in everything from accommodation houses to restaurants and cafes. I guess that has been pushed along with the upgrade of the airport. Funnily enough though, I didn’t notice too many new activities, not like in the neighboring town of Taupo.
