  • The Issue Business We Are Reporting
    To: Commerce Commission New Zealand From: Climate Justice Taranaki Incorporated Re: Complaint on Revital Group / Remediation NZ Date: 11 March 2019 The issue Business we are reporting Revital Group / Remediation NZ Location of business 208 de Havilland Drive, Bell Block New Plymouth Our concerns We believe Revital Group may have breached the Fair Trading Act by misleading the public as to the nature, manufacturing process and characteristics of its fertilizer products. We are especially concerned about Revital’s range of compost and vermicast products made in Taranaki where petroleum drilling and production wastes have been incorporated into the manufacturing processes. We question the robustness of the product testing and traceability regimes and believe there is potential of harm to the public. Misleading information Revital Group’s website emphasizes the organic nature of its products but fails to mention the use of inorganic materials in their production and the possibility of inorganic residues in the products. e.g. The company’s mission is “To transform organic resources into valuable, marketable products through composting, vermiculture and quarrying, supported with quality service and innovation” and “All Revital sites are audited annually by BioGro NZ…” http://revital.co.nz/revital-group/about/ e.g. “Our Grow-all combines the power of nutrient – rich vermicast (worm castings) and high quality organic compost and is the all-natural, rich source of biological life for your soil!” http://revital.co.nz/project/grow- all/ e.g. “Our worm farms are located around the North Island of New Zealand, close to our organic composting sites where we can mix organic compost and vermicast together, for the best ‘brew’ available!..

  • On the Trail of the Last Samurai (II) : Hobbiton Vs Uruti Valley
    Title On the trail of The Last Samurai (II) : Hobbiton vs Uruti Valley Author(s) Seaton, Philip Citation International Journal of Contents Tourism, 4, 25-31 Issue Date 2019-03-19 Doc URL http://hdl.handle.net/2115/73106 Type bulletin (article) File Information IJCT-Vol-4-Seaton-2019b.pdf Instructions for use Hokkaido University Collection of Scholarly and Academic Papers : HUSCAP On the trail of The Last Samurai (II): Hobbiton vs Uruti Valley Philip Seaton Abstract: This research note is part two of a three-part series documenting fieldwork at sites related to the 2003 film The Last Samurai. The ‘failure’ of Last Samurai tourism at shooting locations in Taranaki has often been contrasted with the success of tourism in New Zealand relating to Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit. Based on fieldwork at Hobbiton in August 2017, this research note identifies the main reasons why Hobbiton became a popular tourist attraction with up to 3000 visitors per day in 2016-2017, while by the same time Last Samurai tourism had effectively ceased to exist. The reasons for Hobbiton’s ‘success’, by contrast, are identified as a reason why Last Samurai sites might remain attractive for film tourists, while Hobbiton has lost much of its appeal for film tourism purists. アブストラクト：本研究ノートは、2003年公開の映画『ラストサムライ』に関連する場 所でのフィールドワーク記録を、3編の連続する研究ノートとしてまとめたうちの「その 2」である。『ラストサムライ』のロケ地であるタラナキにおける『ラストサムライ』ツー リズムの「失敗」事例は、しばしば、同じくニュージーランドの事例である『ロード・ オブ・ザ・リング』と『ホビット』に関連するツーリズムの「成功」と比較される。本 研究ノートでは、2017年8月に実施したホビトンでの現地調査に基づき、『ラストサム ライ』関連のツーリズムが明らかに下火になってしまった一方で、ホビトンが、2016年 から2017年現在も、1日当たり最大3千人訪問する人気のツーリストアトラクションにな り得ているのは何故なのか、その主たる理由について検討を行う。その一方で、ホビト ンの「成功」理由は、フィルムツーリズム上の魅力の多くを失ったことが逆に作用した 点にあり、この点において、『ラストサムライ』ロケ地は依然としてフィルムツーリスト に対して魅力を維持し続けている可能性があることについても論じる。 Keywords: film tourism, contents tourism, The Last Samurai, Lord of the Rings, Hobbiton.
