  • Furs to Furriers in Dunedin, New Zealand, to 1940 Evan James Tosh
    Furs to Furriers in Dunedin, New Zealand, to 1940 Evan James Tosh A thesis submitted for the degree of Master of Consumer and Applied Science at the University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand. August 2005 Declaration To be added later ii Abstract This thesis chronicles the development of the fur trade in Dunedin from the 1870s to 1940. The fur trade in Dunedin started in response to the large numbers of rabbit skins and meat that were able to be marketed following the explosion in introduced rabbit numbers in the 1870s. Most rabbit traders diversified into buying and selling other products of the land, but a few became more involved in the fur trade, by concentrating on the rabbit trade or by diversifying into fur dressing and/or manufacturing and retailing fur garments. Dunedin became the major source of skins for export, and also was home to the main fur processing factory, and largest fur garment manufacturing operation in the country. Government measures to foster local industries and employment through the use of protective tariffs are examined. The demand for fur garments and the protection of these tariffs aided the development of fur garment manufacturers from 1920 onwards. The controversy over whether the commercial use of rabbits hindered the policy of rabbit destruction is examined. Whilst the Government tried to encourage rabbit destruction it did not hinder the trade in rabbit meat or skins. This contrasts with the official attitude to opossums, as population increases were encouraged in order to build up a fur trades. But by the late 1920s it was realised that the opossum was actually damaging forests and had become a pest.

  • TEC MEMBER E-DIRECTORY October 2016
    TEC MEMBER E-DIRECTORY October 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.

  • Rail and Maritime Transport Union Submission on Dunedin Railways Ltd Proposal: ‘Mothball Operation and Restructure of Business’ Dated 20 April 2020
    Rail & Maritime Transport Union 30 April 2020 Rail and Maritime Transport Union Submission on Dunedin Railways Ltd Proposal: ‘Mothball Operation and Restructure of Business’ dated 20 April 2020 Summary Dunedin Railways Ltd (‘DRL’) has failed to meaningfully consult on its so-called proposal to cease train services and mothball its assets with the loss of around 70 jobs. DRL has failed to follow Dunedin City Council’s (‘DCC’) instruction on ‘…mothball[ing] the business with a view to exploring feasibility of a small number of alternative options for the company’s assets.’ Rather DRL has tabled a proposal so lacking in detail as to be meaningless. This raises real questions regarding the competence and fitness of DRL’s board and management. DRL has a recent record of failing to engage in adequate community consultation. The RMTU calls for: 1. The immediate dismissal of the current board and the appointment of a new board with staff representation; 2. Genuine and good faith engagement by DRL management with staff and their union to investigate alternative options for the future of DRL; 3. This must be a genuine process that considers the wider picture of DRL’s valued contribution to Dunedin including, but not limited to ,adding to the city’s tourist offering, delivering wider economic benefits, and remaining a part of the city’s heritage. 1 Rail & Maritime Transport Union 30 April 2020 Background 1. The Rail and Maritime Transport Union (“RMTU”) represents almost 50 workers at Dunedin Railways Ltd (“DRL”). These staff have between them, hundreds of years of accumulated service.
