The Hawkes Bay Maori Tourism Trust has opened an information and booking office on Marine Parade in Napier.
Kaumatua Tom Mulligan says it's a place for visitors to find out the stories and culture of Ngati Kahungunu.
He told Waatea News the centre has room for exhibitions, with the opening show coming from students of Te Wananga o Aotearoa's Toimairangi contemporary Maori Visual Arts programme in Hastings.
