We advise the Government on growing and managing tourism in New Zealand, to support our economy and regions. Tourism benefits our local communities and businesses. It supports people-to-people connections and fosters a shared sense of national pride and delivers economic benefits through job creation, regional development, and increased spending in local economies.
The Government is investing an extra $13.5 million in international marketing to bring more visitors to New Zealand.
The Government is investing $1.6 million to repair and reopen Tasman’s Great Taste Cycle Trail, which was badly damaged by recent storms.
The Tourism Growth Roadmap outlines the Government’s strategic vision and plan to boost tourism, drive economic growth, and enhance the visitor experience in New Zealand.
The Government is investing in regional economic growth and sustainable tourism by supporting the installation of e-bike charging stations on 2 New Zealand cycle trails, with more regions set to benefit through an upcoming second funding round.
Regional tourism organisations will receive a total of $3 million to attract more international visitors to regional New Zealand this year.
In 2023, the Government passed a new law for self-contained vehicles to better manage the impacts of freedom camping on our communities and environment.
The Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) are seeking feedback on whether to extend the transitional period for privately owned, self-contained vehicles in the Freedom Camping Act beyond 7 June 2025.
The first phase of the Tourism Industry Transformation Plan (ITP) focused on enabling Better Work for the tourism industry.
