The Institute was established in 1999. The objectives of NZTRI are: • To develop timely and innovative research solutions for the tourism industry and those who depend on it. The focus is on helping to develop a profitable and sustainable industry which provides tangible benefits for business, residents and visitors. • To develop tools that can assist in maximising the links between tourism and local economies, and which can also mitigate the negative impacts associated with tourism. • To obtain funding from both the private and the public sectors which can support advanced graduate study in areas of vital importance to tourism development in New Zealand and globally. NZTRI operates across scales from the local and regional through to the national and global and has over 70 members and associate members. There are currently 22 PhD students studying in or about to join the Institute and a number of MPhil students. The Institute also runs a successful international intern programme that has had more than 50 participants since its establishment in 2001. The Institute also plays an important role in developing research in the School of Hospitality and Tourism. Hospitality is a new and growing Research Programme Area in the Institute and there is considerable focus on labour force and productivity issues, workplace technology and the links between food, tourism and economic development. Tourism research is more vital to New Zealand society than it ever has been. 2010 was a very difficult year for the New Zealand tourism industry. The higher New Zealand dollar, continued uncertainty related to the Christchurch earthquake and economic difficulties in many of our source markets have led to lower margins for many tourism operators and public sector purses have tightened. In the current environment it is more critical than ever to provide robust and cost-effective national, regional, community and business scale decision support systems. It is also vital that NZTRI continue its focus on building international programmes of research. These challenges directly affected the Institute’s funding opportunities and as a result external revenue has been lower than projected. Through careful management of salary and other costs we have, nevertheless, managed to improve our overall financial (profit/loss) performance over 2009. Given the current environment the year was focused on five things: 1. Developing sustainable funding opportunities with a focus on the Auckland regional scale; 2. Developing partnerships to enhance success with large public sector bids; 3. Building cross disciplinary links at AUT to strengthen staff development and funding opportunities; 4. Developing graduate student opportunities; and 5. Exploring a greater role in revenue generating activities and community outreach through online methods. Simon Milne 4 RESEARCH PROGRAMMES The Institute’s Research Programme Areas (RPA) continued to develop. Each RPA is led by academics with strong research backgrounds in the areas concerned. The current RPAs include: Cultural and Heritage Tourism – Jane Legget supports the sustainability of museums, art galleries, historic buildings and other cultural and natural heritage enterprises. Tourism and Technology – Ulrich Speidel and Simon Milne strengthens collaborative and interdisciplinary research and development projects integrating the key themes of technology, tourism, social and economic well-being. Tourism and Community Development – John Hull and Simon Milne assists local destinations in their efforts to meet the challenges and opportunities associated with the rapid globalisation of the travel and tourism industry. Coastal and Marine Tourism - Micha Lück and Mark Orams key themes of coastal and marine tourism, the associated impacts, wildlife watching, education and interpretation, aquaria and marine parks, community development, small island tourism, the cruise industry, and related themes. Tourism Marketing – Ken Hyde applies marketing theory and marketing research techniques to an understanding of tourists and the performance of businesses across tourism, travel and hospitality industries. Indigenous Tourism – Hamish Bremner brings together people from a wide-range of backgrounds to support the development of appropriate indigenous tourism across the globe. Pacific Islands Tourism – Semisi Taumoepeau and Simon Milne strengthens collaborative and interdisciplinary research and development projects that integrate tourism development with the social, cultural, environmental and economic well- being of the people in the Pacific Islands. Event Tourism – Geoff Dickson research that adds value to industry, the professionals that work within it and the communities that they serve. hospitality research - Nigel Hemmington and Jill Poulston research that adds value to industry, the professionals that work within it and the communities that they serve. Health and Wellness Tourism – Jeff Dalley strengthens collaborative and interdisciplinary research projects that address the challenge and opportunities of the global resurgence in health and wellness related travel. Access Tourism – Sandra Rhodda aims to research and develop Access Tourism in New Zealand through an interdisciplinary approach that addresses the challenges and opportunities presented by Access Tourism. Each RPA works closely with the others and will often form multi-faceted teams to address tourism research needs. An additional strength of NZTRI is its ability to tap into the resources of academics both nationally and internationally. Each RPA is developing a range of national and international networks that place NZTRI at the forefront of global tourism research. The following cases are just some examples of the RPA work we are undertaking to enhance the performance of the tourism industry while also providing cutting edge research opportunities for graduate students and our members. 5 cultural and heritage tourism Dr Jane Legget Associate Director, NZTRI and Senior Lecturer, School of Hospitality and Tourism. 2010 has been the Year of Museums for NZTRI’s There were further opportunities to extend and culture and heritage research area – museums small strengthen NZTRI’s international networks.

NZTRI undertook a summative evaluation of a multi-media interactive visitor experience, Our Space. This complex investigation involved several NZTRI team members and a range of research methods – this was necessary because visitors use the many features of Our Space in very different ways. Based on this study, Te Papa is now considering options for developing further means of engaging its real and virtual visitors in the Our Space experience.

The company reduced operating costs, increased advertising market share and had excellent on screen performances. TVNZ’s goal is to perform even better in FY2012. The global financial crisis still impacts the New Zealand economy and continues to be felt by advertising reliant media. We expect there will, however, be a gradual improvement in advertising revenues throughout FY2012. That means in FY2012 TVNZ will still have a focus on cost control, productivity improvements and efficient use of assets. The company will also keep pressure on competitors around advertising market share and continue to search for, and put to air, outstanding programmes. At a macro level, the acceleration of the structural changes in the New Zealand and international media business where digital content can be accessed almost at any time across multiple devices means TVNZ’s strategy of “inspiring New Zealanders on every screen” is locked in as the company’s mantra.

  • Urban Maori Authorities (Draft)
    JULIE MIDDLETON Ka Rangona te Reo: The Development of Māori-language Television Broadcasting in Aotearoa New Zealand Introduction New Zealanders today can hear Māori language broadcast in a variety of contexts: on Māori Television and to a lesser extent on state-owned TV1, TV2 and privately-held TV3, on digital platforms and via broadcasters‟ programmes-on-demand internet sites. However, these opportunities are a relatively recent development spurred by years of agitation by Māori about the decline of te reo Māori in an English-saturated world and the recognition that the powerful medium of television broadcasting could help promote, protect and enhance reo and tikanga. Māori-language television broadcasting is largely Government-funded, a support forced on the state as Māori successfully claimed their rights to representation under the Treaty of Waitangi. This literature review starts by canvassing the genesis of television in New Zealand and the limited contexts it provided for te reo Māori. It then describes grassroots political activism by Māori seeking a space for tikanga and reo Māori, and successful claims against the Government. We then trace the legislation that gave te reo Māori a place on the small screen and led to the birth of the country‟s first indigenous channel. Finally, this review briefly explores the expansion of reo Māori programming and platforms as Aotearoa New Zealand faces a very different broadcasting landscape. This literature review will not cover the development of Māori-language radio broadcasting, though many of the developments, especially those spurred by protest and subsequent legal action, are linked. For overviews on the growth of radio in te reo, see authors such as Patrick Day, Karen Neill, Julie Middleton is a journalist with twenty years’ experience working in New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the Pacific, and is currently a writer, editor, and freelance media consultant.

  • Survey of Regional TV Audiences – Main Report
    NZ On Air | Survey of Regional TV Audiences – Main report Prepared by Colmar Brunton For | NZ ON AIR July 2014 Executive Summary (i) Objectives and method • NZ On Air commissioned Colmar Brunton to gain an indicative understanding of audiences for regional television channels through research in each region. The main themes of the research are: o awareness of the regional channel in each area; o levels of channel viewership; o what programmes are being watched; and o perceptions about the channel in each area. • Colmar Brunton conducted a telephone survey with 2,001 respondents between 7 April 2014 and 3 May 2014. The sample was structured to allow reporting within each region. We only included those living in regional broadcasting areas (those living in areas where it was difficult/impossible to receive their regional TV signal without an aerial were deliberately excluded from the survey through a combination of targeting calls in areas known to have UHF reception and excluding people who said they could not receive a signal without an aerial). Awareness of local channel • 4 in 10 (41%) are aware of their local channel without prompting, but this increases to just over 7 in 10 (74%) after prompting. • Those with a UHF aerial have higher awareness (86% compared with 68% of those who do not have a UHF aerial). (This finding applies across the regions). • With the exception of Kaitaia and Whangarei, awareness is generally higher among those aged 40-69 (8 in 10 of this age group are aware after prompting). • Prompted awareness of local channels varies by region.
