Session Objectives
- A ‘discussion’ (not a ‘telling’)
- Your views on what’s currently working (or not)
- Your aspirations for the industry’s future contribution (‘what can we be at our
best?’)
- Ideas and thoughts on how best to move forward
- Documented output that contributes to Tourism 2025 Reset
Orienting to Our Future
1: Ground 2: Goal 3: Direction 4: Action
Session Flow
- Working with your table colleagues
- 10-12 minutes considering each point of the tetrad
(listen for the bell to pace yourselves)
- Once the tetrad’s complete we’ll spend 10 minutes each on;
– How the areas (ground, goal, direction & approach) work together – What areas of priority emerge for industry action and focus
- For the last two conversations we’ll move a couple from each table to the adjoining
table to join their discussion.
Things to Remember
- If you find yourself bogged on a particular discussion, note it and open up a new
topic.
- Listen for the bell to make sure you cover the bases
1: Ground
- Where do we currently stand as we embark on the next phase of Tourism
development?
– What makes the NZ/regional tourism offer unique? – How do we define our connection to our local communities? – What do you think is the essence of what makes NZ special as a tourism destination?
2: Goal
- What do we want to be in 2025?
– What are the aspirational goals we wish to work toward within our local communities? – By 2025, as an industry, what will we be contributing to our communities beyond what we currently do?
3: Direction
- What will guide us into our future?
– What principles do we need to adhere to to ensure the industry moves effectively toward
- ur goals without compromising our unique position?
– What principles do we need to re-examine or establish?
4: Approach
- How do we need to act today to protect what we have and develop toward our
goal?
– What are the key action areas we need to consider to take our unique proposition and achieve the aspirant goals? – What do you regard as the highest priority for 2025 focus? – What might we missing that would help achieve our overall goal?
Summary Reflections
- Do all the points of your tetrad effectively support each other?
– Are the any points of contention, and how may they be reduced?
- Getting radical; is there anything we’re not currently considering that needs to be
- n the industry’s agenda?

Tourism – a view from the outside
What’s law got to do with it?
The operational and the aspirational
Discussing Tourism
Operational
- Employment
- Health and Safety
- Permissions
- Due diligence
Discussing Tourism
Aspirational
- Conservation Act
- Resource Management Act
- Infrastructure
- Supportive communities
- Ecological restoration
Discussing Tourism
Employment
- Regular changes
- A number of pressure points eg changes
to 90 day trial periods, immigration requirements, minimum wage requirements and increased investigations.
- What could possibly go wrong!?
Discussing Tourism
Health and Safety
- Consider at procurement stage
- Chain of responsibility
- Clear contracts delineating responsibility
- Who is in control?
- How are the Adventure Regs performing?
Discussing Tourism
Employment and Health and Safety
- Interface increasingly important
- Continue to enhance safety culture
- Additional risks from fatigue, bullying,
harassment, stress…
Discussing Tourism
Permissions
- Resource consents
- Concessions
- Leases, easements
Discussing Tourism
Consenting
- Applications must be detailed. Expert advice required
- New trend of "off site" mitigation, or volunteering new benefits to
get a project over the line
- Examples:
– Walking/biking tracks – White water course – Re-vegetation, wilding pine control – Artificial climbing resource – Conservation projects/biodiversity offsets
Discussing Tourism
Matters to consider when selling/buying a tourism business
- Do your due diligence on the business
before you “go to paper”: – Get advice – Exactly what buying and why – Liability risks? – Restraint of trade?
Discussing Tourism
Aspirational
- What opportunities are you missing to:
– Protect resource on which you rely – Improve community support for tourism – Promote and enable tourism – Ensure timely infrastructure
Discussing Tourism
Aspirational
- Federated Farmers, Forest and Bird,
Environmental Defence Society, Dairy NZ, Fonterra, Whitewater NZ, Federated Mountain Clubs, Beef and Lamb, Automobile Association, NZ Property Council, Straterra, Fish and Game
Discussing Tourism
Resource Management Act and Conservation Act
- Sustainable practice while sustaining the resource on
which the industry relies
- Key values addressed by both Acts:
– Natural values – Amenity/wilderness/remoteness values – Cultural/heritage values – Safety
Discussing Tourism
Resource Management Act
- Regional Policy Statements
- District Plans
- Regional Plans
- National Policy Statement?
Discussing Tourism
RMA
- Public participation
- Devil in the detail
- Quality of evidence – both lay and expert
- Quality of implementation
Discussing Tourism
Water Conservation Orders
- The only RMA mechanism to specifically protect (not just
sustainably manage) outstanding wild, scenic, natural and recreation values
- E.g. Rangitata, Buller, Mohaka, Motu, Oreti, Motueka, Kawarau
- Can trump “development” (e.g. hydro or irrigation)
- But still dependent on proper implementation
- Increasingly vital to the parts of the tourism industry dependent
- n angling and adventure tourism
- Current applications Ngaruroro River and Te Waikoropupu Springs
Discussing Tourism
Marine protection
- Marine reserves
- Marine parks
Discussing Tourism
Conservation Act
- National Policies
- Conservation Management Strategies
- National Park Management Plans
- Still fit for purpose?
Discussing Tourism
Infrastructure
- Local government 10 year plans
- Central government
- Public Private Partnerships
- Provincial Growth Fund
Discussing Tourism
Community support – eg Freedom Camping and High Country Access
- Freedom Camping Act 2011
- Walking Access Commission consultation
- Process important – and needs good
information (where industry comes in)
- Recurring themes for both –
infrastructure, coordination, cross boundary issues, integration, education
