Chamber of Commerce CEO Hayley Horan on Ultra's impact on Wellington City - Wellington Mornings with Nick Mills

Ultra Music Festival was held in Wellington on Friday night and sold over 23,000 tickets, bringing people from all over the country into our CBD.

Nick speaks to Wellington City Chamber of Commerce CEO Hayley Horan about the impact on the businesses from the influx of people.

They also discuss the latest poll from RNZ which found nearly two‑thirds of business owners believe the current state of the economy is "bad" or "very bad" and 83% are stressed.

Nick asks what can be done to deescalate the stresses for Wellington business owners.

Horan shares her insider knowledge of how businesses are reacting to the times.

Did Ultra Festival bring up business confidence in the CBD? Are events the thing that will bring back hope in the city?
