New Zealand pavilion at Seville, 1992

This television clip describes the way New Zealand was presented at the 1992 International Exhibition at Seville in south-east Spain. Visitors to the New Zealand pavilion were greeted outside by a Māori kapa haka group in front of a dramatic wall of rocks. They were then taken into a theatre and introduced to both the natural environment of the country and its creative culture. The aim was to encourage a brand awareness of New Zealand in the hope that people would be more likely to buy goods from – or visit – New Zealand.
