The International Visitor Conservation and Tourism Levy (IVL) ensures tourism continues to benefit communities, visitors and the environment, helping to create productive, sustainable and inclusive tourism growth that enriches New Zealanders’ lives.
The initial round of IVL programme investments was announced in August 2020. The 10 investments totalled $18.7m funding in the 2019/20 year, with a total of $38.9m across the life of the investments.
This report outlines the performance and status of the 10 initial IVL projects – 6 in the conservation portfolio and 4 in the tourism portfolio that were funded in the first year of the IVL programme (1 July 2019 to 30 June 2020).
