	Description:		From Rotorua's natural hot springs to the fresh mountain air of the Southern Alps, the health benefits of New Zealand's natural environment have often been part of our tourism attractions. Well with its picturesque golden beaches, enchanting hills, and lush green valleys the Coromandel is promoting itself as a region that's good for your health and soul. And they can back it up, with a research trial conducted by the University of Auckland Business School's Dr Karen V. Fernandez finding those who visited the region reported a decrease in stress and anxiety as well as an increase in relaxation and happiness. It's no surprise the region's businesses and promotional arm is hoping bring much needed tourism to the area, which is still feeling some of the affects of Cyclone Gabrielle. So to chat about the Coromandel Cure and how the region is faring, we're joined by Destination Hauraki Coromandel general manager Hadley Dryden.
