    INBOUND E-DIRECTORY 2016 What is the Tourism Export Council of New Zealand? The Tourism Export Council of New Zealand is a trade association that has represented the interests of inbound tourism since 1971. Their inbound members package holidays for international visitors whether they be part of a group tour, independent traveller, conference/incentives, education or cruise visitors. What do we do & who do we represent? The Tourism Export Council’s focus is to build long term business relationships with distribution networks in New Zealand and offshore. The relationship with product suppliers in New Zealand and offshore wholesalers is integral to the country’s continued growth as a visitor destination. Member categories include: . Inbound member - inbound tour operators (ITO’s) . Allied member - attraction, activity, accommodation, transport and tourism service suppliers Examples of the allied membership include: . Attraction – Milford Sound, SkyTower, Te Papa Museum . Activities – Jetboating, Whalewatch, Maori Culture show . Accommodation – hotels, luxury lodges, backpackers . Transport – airlines, bus & coaches, sea transport, shuttles . Tourism services – Regional Tourism Organisations (RTO’s) digital & marketing companies, education & tourism agencies eg. DOC, Service IQ, Qualmark, AA Tourism, BTM Marketing, ReserveGroup Why is tourism considered an export industry? Tourism, like agriculture is one of New Zealand’s biggest income earners. Both are export industries because they bring in foreign dollars to New Zealand. With agriculture, you grow an apple, send it offshore and a foreigner eats it. A clear pathway of a New Zealand product consumed or purchased by someone overseas. Tourism works slightly differently: The product is still developed in NZ (just like the apple) It is sold offshore (like the apple) It is purchased by a foreigner (again like the apple) BUT it is experienced in NZ and therein lies the difference.

  • West Coast Economic Development Action Plan 2017 | 1 Message from West Coast Mayors
    Acknowledgement Images courtesy of Westland Milk Products, West Coast Regional Council, Grey District Council, Stewart Nimmo, Tai Poutini Polytechnic, Tourism West Coast, Te Rūnanga o Makaawhio and Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Waewae. Foreword Message from the Governance Group The West Coast is full of potential. Many of the characteristics of the region that have traditionally been seen as barriers will be the keys to our future success. The development of this Action Plan picks up on these opportunities and identifies clear pathways forward which will effect real change in the lives of our people, our communities and for our future growth and prosperity. The passion and commitment of the Governance Group has led to an Action Plan developed by the region for the region. Using the nous of some of our best business minds and intertwining this with the wisdom of our local Rūnanga, and with assistance from local and central government, the Action Plan is a living document which will continue to evolve as existing opportunities are developed and new ones are identified. This is the time for us as West Coasters to grasp these opportunities, to celebrate and market our identity, tell the world our positive stories and that the region is open for business. On behalf of the Governance Group, I would like to acknowledge the support from Regional Economic Development Ministers, our Mayors and elected members throughout the region, government agencies and the various organisations involved in developing the individual project plans which make up this Action Plan. Andrew Robb Chairman West Coast Governance Group Tai Poutini West Coast Economic Development Action Plan 2017 | 1 Message from West Coast Mayors The West Coast has been provided an opportunity by central government to embrace and co-invest in the region’s future.

  • Services at Holy Trinity
    RICHMOND PARISH PROFILE WHO ARE WE? We are a committed group of Christians who endeavour to make our church a welcoming church to all. Many visitors have favourably commented on the friendly welcome they receive among us. We are in an evangelical diocese and most of our congregation tend in that direction. There are, however, a number of parishioners with a more liberal theology. Our focus tends towards what unites us rather than what we disagree on. We are a predominantly older congregation with a small number of children and very few members in the 20-40 age group bracket. We value our evangelical, Anglican heritage which does provide a unique flavour to the Richmond church scene. Our two Sunday morning services attract just over 80 people to our wooden church on the hill near the centre of the Richmond township. WHERE ARE WE? Although Richmond is geographically close to Nelson, it is administered by the Tasman District Council (www.tasman.govt.nz) which has its main council offices in Richmond. Richmond is a thriving, growing centre for the rural townships to the south and the west. The population was estimated to be 17,250 in June 2020. In the 2018 census the main ethnic breakdown of the Tasman Region was European (92.6%), Maori (8.7%), Asian (2.8%) and Pacific (1.6%). (These figures exceed 100% as people can associate with more than one ethnic group). Due both to an increasing influx of retirees and the ageing population Tasman District’s older residents (65+) are predicted to rise from 21% in 2018 to 32% in 20 years.
