Abiota node is a small, localised mini-ecosystem, with a permanent waterhole surrounded by native plants. Each biota node at Tuhaitara Coastal Park has been established and adopted by a school, class or community group. As they mature, the nodes will extend outwards to form a biodiversity skeleton stretching the length of the park. The freshwater ponds and native plants attract birds, aiding seed transfer for easy and eventual self-maintaining propagation. You will assist with maintenance of a biota node through invasive flora removal. You will be provided with a high visibility vest and a pair of gloves for use while you work. The Tūtaepatu Lagoon site includes the largest area of natural open water in the coastal strip between the Waimakariri and Ashley Rakahuri Rivers, and an area of surrounding vegetation, totalling over 54 hectares. The overall goal of the proposed restoration of Tūtaepatu Lagoon is “a lagoon with indigenous vegetation that supports mahinga kai (traditional indigenous food sources) and spiritual values”. Tutaepatu Lagoon is of cultural significance to Ngai Tahu, and was one of the areas returned through the Treaty of Waitangi settlement made between Ngai Tahu and the Crown. Tūtaepatu Lagoon discharges north into the Taranaki Stream which then flows into the Ashley Rakahuri and south into Saltwater Creek which discharges into the Waimakariri at Kairaki . The Lagoon and its freshwater network support a diverse range of indigenous biota, e.g. wetland and swamp plants, fish such as inaka, tuna (eel), kowaro (mudfish) and birds such as kotuku (white heron), bittern, kotare (kingfisher), kōrimako (bellbird) and ruru (morepork). You will walk to Tutaepatu Lagoon, and undertake a cultural and ecological interpretation of the site. Please note that you will be undertaking physical activity throughout the day. Expect to be outside for the majority of your time on the project. Be prepared for all weather conditions as the weather can be very changeable.

  • 2.5 Tourism and Ecosystem Services in New Zealand
    TOURISM 2.5 TOURISM AND ECOSYSTEM SERVICES IN NEW ZEALAND David G. Simmons Lincoln University, PO Box 85084, Lincoln University, Lincoln, New Zealand ABSTRACT: Tourism is an important and growing economic activity in New Zealand. While promotional activities highlight New Zealand’s biodiversity and ‘clean green’ image under a 100% pure brand, relatively little is known of its draw on ecosystem functions and services. Preliminary analyses of the sector’s eco-effi ciency highlight both the complexity of the sector and its relatively-polluting nature. Tourism is, however, a two-edged sword in that it also provides an economic initiative for the designation and management of protected natural areas. Given the size, activity volumes and growth trajectory of the sector, non-market and resource-use and effi ciency evidence to support tourism policy and planning is now urgently required. Key words: clean green image, co-effi ciency, recreation, tourism.

  • TRENZ 2018 Lures Travel Buyers from All Over the World
    26 March 2018 Media Release TRENZ 2018 lures travel buyers from all over the world Booming international interest in New Zealand is attracting more overseas travel marketers to TRENZ, the premier annual business event for New Zealand’s $36 billion tourism industry. TRENZ 2018 will be held in Dunedin from 7-10 May, and will be attended by 387 Buyers, up from 377 last year. Buyers from major visitor markets like China, Australia and the United States will be joined by representatives from emerging markets like Brazil and the Philippines. “These are the big behind-the-scenes players who shape how international visitors experience New Zealand,” says Chris Roberts, Chief Executive of Tourism Industry Aotearoa (TIA), which manages TRENZ. “The Buyers will be going to Dunedin to negotiate contracts for the coming year and meet with 314 of New Zealand’s leading tourism operators who will showcase their products and services at TRENZ. “In addition to reconnecting with well-established tourism operators with whom they may have worked in the past, Buyers will be keen to discover new experiences they can sell to consumers in their home markets.” Mr Roberts says that demand for spots at TRENZ has been extremely high and the event is almost at capacity. “That high interest reflects the dynamism of New Zealand’s tourism industry. International and domestic visitor spending is at record levels, worth $36 billion over the year ending March 2017, and the industry is well on track to achieve its Tourism 2025 aspirational goal of $41 billion in annual revenue. “However, there is still more to be done to attract high value visitors, who come at different times of the year and visit a variety of places in New Zealand.

  • Friday 9 January 1998
    10 JANUARY 2008 New Zealand national climate summary – the year 2007 2007: much drier than average in many places, but disastrous floods in Northland. Drought, destructive tornadoes, windstorms, variable temperatures New Zealand’s climate for 2007 was marked by too little rain in many places, and record low rainfalls in some locations. Rainfall during the year was less than 60 percent of normal in parts of Marlborough, Canterbury and Central Otago, with some places recording their driest year on record. Parts of the south and east, and Wellington, recorded one of their sunniest years on record too. The national average temperature was of 12.7°C during 2007 was close to normal. This was a result of some warm months (May being the warmest on record) offset by some cooler months. “Notable climate features in various parts of the country were disastrous floods in Northland with very dry conditions, and drought in the east of the North Island”, says NIWA Principal Scientist Dr Jim Salinger. “As well there was an unprecedented swarm of tornadoes in Taranaki, destructive windstorms in Northland and in eastern New Zealand in October and hot spells. Of the main centres Dunedin was extremely sunny and dry, and it was dry in the other centres.” “The year saw a swing from an El Niño to a La Niña climate pattern. The start of the year was dominated by a weakening El Niño in the equatorial Pacific. From September onwards La Niña conditions had developed in the tropical Pacific, with a noticeable increase in the frequency and strength of the westerlies over New Zealand in October and then a significant drop in windiness from November.

REFERENCES 45 1. Introduction Sustainable tourism can be defined as "Tourism that takes full account of its current and future economic, social and environmental impacts, addressing the needs of visitors, the industry, the environment and host communities" (United Nations World Tourism Organisation, 2005). When we read the “Transforming our world: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development” and the “Sustainable Development in the 21st century (SD21), which were published by United Nations (UN), we can understand the significance, value, vision, goals and targets of sustainable development for the planet in the next decades. United Nations will take the bold and transformative steps which are urgently needed to shift the world onto a sustainable and resilient path. 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and 169 targets were announced which demonstrated the scale and ambition of this new universal Agenda. These goals are integrated and indivisible and balance the three dimensions of sustainable development: being economic, social and environmental. Furthermore, United Nations has declared 2017 as the International Year of Sustainable Tourism for Development and it has continued to promote this by World Tourism Organisation (UNWTO) since December 2015. There is a clear understanding for its goal and relation to “the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development”.

  • Māori and Tourism – a Review of the Research and Research Potential David Fisher Lincoln University
    Māori and Tourism – A review of the research and research potential David Fisher Lincoln University Abstract In recent years there has been an increasing level of interest in indigenous tourism. This has developed in an attempt to improve the returns to indigenous people. Too often indigenous people have become an object to view with little control over what is presented to tourists. The consequence of this has been the development of various paradigms for indigenously controlled tourism, including Maori. One of the aims of this paper is to review the research that has been conducted on Maori tourism. It is necessary, however, to step back from this process, which has developed from a succession of reactions to earlier problems rather than from a pro-active stance. This paper will not say what Maori should do with regard to tourism. That certainly is not my place. Instead, what will be offered are a number of questions that I believe should be answered or answered more completely. The presentation will take, as its basis, a very simple supply and demand approach. Whether tourism should be defined from a supply or demand perspective has been a topic of debate for some years in tourism research, particularly when considering the ‘tourism industry’. Nearly all the research conducted so far on Maori tourism has been from the perspective of the supply of Maori cultural tourism. The demand for tourism by Maori has not been considered. Do Maori have the same motivation to be tourists as other groups in New Zealand? In terms of domestic tourism are Maori more likely to engage in ‘reciprocated’ tourism, that is visiting other Maori with the expectation that, at some time in the future, they will play host to Maori visitors? Are the places that Maori visit different to those places that attract other tourists? On the supply side questions need to be asked about what defines Maori Tourism.
