  • The New Zealand Cycleway
    The New Zealand Cycleway Market Research September 2009 Prepared for Ministry of Tourism Prepared by Tourism Resource Consultants EXECUTIVE SUMMARY New Zealand Cycleway market research project The New Zealand cycleway market research project was commissioned by the Ministry of Tourism (TMT) to gain a better understanding of the scope, size and characteristics of cycling markets, both domestically and in New Zealand’s key international markets (e.g. Australia, UK, North America). Tourism Resource Consultants (TRC) undertook to define visitor demand for cycling experiences within New Zealand, identify the key segments of the market, analyse existing research on cycle tourism and recreational cycling and identify potential areas for growth. This report identifies current knowledge about the New Zealand and international cycling markets and provides a baseline for future research on these markets. Methodology TRC reviewed over 70 current research documents, data analysis and case studies, ran a focus group consisting of cycling experts and stakeholders to explore market segments and identify further research needs, and interviewed key agencies. Current research on cycle tourism products, participation and market segmentation in New Zealand is limited. Where data does exist, small sample sizes mean it is often difficult to determine trends and characteristics between on-road and off-road cycling activities. The New Zealand Cycleway experience Currently in New Zealand there are a number of cycling opportunities for visitors to enjoy ranging from undefined road touring routes to well-serviced rides such as the Queen Charlotte Track and the Otago Central Rail Trail, day trips and cycle events. Rides can be taken on disused rail trails, stopbanks and mountain bike tracks.

  • Newsletter January 2015
    Friends of Baring Head Newsletter Visit us on line at http://www.baringhead.org.nz/ or follow us on Facebook January 2015 Number 9 Message from the Chair The regional park at Baring Head provides visitors with all sorts of recreation activities as well as opportunities for volunteer workers to protect and enhance the environment. For some time now the Friends have been thinking how to allow visitors and volunteers to combine their involvement in both of these interests and the first trip we’ve arranged for summer 2014/15 showed us this approach has real possibilities. The Friends arranged with a four-wheel drive group, the Cross Country Group, to transport people over to the Fitzroy Bay beach from the bridge car-park for a small charge. Available seats were in great demand, with some people having to be asked to wait for trips later in the summer. Many of those lucky enough to claim a seat hadn’t previously been to Baring Head and some weren’t even sure where it was! The first part of the trip was to the coast where, after an introductory talk and a chance to look at a new beachcombing booklet (see below in Finding out about what your beachcombing turns up) visitors were able to walk along the beach, finding treasures, removing horned poppy and picking up rubbish. The much- reduced horned poppy density is obvious along the sections of the beach that have been tackled – good work previous visitors and volunteers! On this occasion, more of the weed was cleared, particularly further south and near the climbing rocks.

Wellington Regional TRAILS FOR THE FUTURE A strategic framework for trails in the Wellington Region ii Wellington Regional Trails for the Future Executive Summary Introduction The Wellington region sits on the southern end of New Zealand’s North Island and contains some outstanding trail-based experiences and the potential to significantly grow the use of outdoor trails. Many other destinations internationally are growing their trail-based tourism infrastructure, marketing, and cooperative efforts to capitalise on their region’s strengths in order to offer world class experiences. The Wellington region has the potential to be such a destination, adding to its already very successful positioning as a capital city with a great cultural scene based on Te Papa and other assets and events, and a thriving food, wine and craft beer scene.
