The Michelin effect's in full swing, with a Christchurch venue full every night through the depths of winter. 

Fifteen Kiwi restaurants were awarded stars in June, with the Michelin Guide promising to attract 36 thousand extra overseas visitors annually. 

A Tourism New Zealand business case, including overseas evidence, shows this could bring turnover growth of up to 50% for venues. 

Inati co-owner Lisa Levy told Mike Hosking since the announcement, they've seen bookings far in advance they've never seen before. 

She says tourists obviously plan around their holidays, but they're seeing a lot more domestic tourism as well as international.

A young Kiwi pool player is taking his game to the world stage. 

22-year-old Sheridan Burmester's heading overseas for a major international campaign, competing in tournaments across Vietnam, Bali, and India.  

He's also heavily invested in growing the game back home in New Zealand, similarly to things like darts, which has growing mainstream appeal.  

Burmester told Mike Hosking they just need some support and recognition to supercharge the sport. 

He says a lot of people don't know anything about pool being global or that you can even compete in the game.

Relief for the Port of Tauranga as a long-awaited project gets the green light.

Port CFO Simon Kebbell told Mike Hosking they're very grateful for the fast-track avenue. 

He says this is critical infrastructure for New Zealand and we can't spend seven years trying to get critical infrastructure over the line.
