To help boost local business and maintain social distance during the Covid-19 pandemic in May 2020, the city of Whakatāne, New Zealand, developed a virtual mall featuring local businesses.
The mall is an idea of Whakatāne’s Events Promotion Initiatives and Community – EPIC and was designed to help local businesses increase their online presence, thereby helping businesses to continue to generate revenue during the restrictions imposed by the Coronavirus outbreak.
