  • 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. NATURE OF ECOSYSTEM SERVICES AND THEIR RELATIONͳ (both physical and psychological), and social components (cultur- SHIPS TO TOURISM al identity, social networks, and so on). New Zealand’s biophysical resources and functions (includ- Even in their simplest forms descriptions of ecosystem ing indigenous biodiversity), wherever they are found – from the services and their human benefi ts provide overt links to the mountains to the sea – are the cornerstone of the New Zealand role and functions of leisure, recreation and tourism in the life tourism ‘product’. The tourism sector depends on the biophysical of New Zealanders. These three human spheres of activity are environment and ecosystem functions for land (accommodation, commonly linked and are argued to fulfi l the same set of basic roads), water, energy inputs, minerals, biodiversity, and a whole human social, psychological and physiological needs (Moore host of ecosystem services such as climate and greenhouse gas et al.

  • 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.

  • Sustainable Tourism in Auckland with a Case Study of Waiheke Island
    Sustainable Tourism in Auckland with a case study of Waiheke Island Ronnie Xu Master of Professional Practice Otago Polytechnic Supported by ATEED (Auckland Tourism, Events and Economic Development) Contents 1. INTRODUCTION 1 2. SYNOPSIS AND BACKGROUND 4 3. RESEARCH PROCESS AND AIMS 16 4. WAIHEKES’S OVERVIEW 19 5. IMPACTS TO WAIHEKE TOURISM 23 6. STRATEGIES AND RECOMMENDATIONS 41 7. CONCLUSION 44 8. 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.

The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for-the degree of Doctor of Philosophy . In Management and International Business at Massey University, Albany, New Zealand. Kenneth George Munro Simpson 2001 Abstract This thesis is concerned with the processes involved in the determination of tourism policies and development plans, at a sub-national levp.,i in New Zealand. In part icular, it pursues a broad goal which aims : To investigate the validity of :.·takeholder participation and strategic orientation as significant contributor.� to sub-national tourism planning effectiveness in New Zealand. The thesis builds upon the premise that attention to these two foundation issues, at the outset of the planning process, cn:.ates a secure base fo r future planning activity, and that the additional effort required by this approach is rewarded by enhanced support for the development direction subsequently chosen. Within this context, five specific research objectives are established : 1. Describe tf.e structural arrangements that have been established to guide lOilrism'planning activities in New Zealand. 2. Ascertain tile methods used by national, regional, and local agencies to determine lOurism development strategies at a national, regional and local level. 3. Evaluate t'1e extent to which sub-national tourism development strategies incorporate the principles of stake holder participation and strategic orientation. 4. Establish quantitative levels of local resident support for a cross-section sample of sub-national tourism development strategies.

  • Domestic Tourism in New Zealand: the Kiwi Family Holiday
    Domestic tourism in New Zealand: The Kiwi family holiday Heike Schänzel In New Zealand, 56 % of all tourism earnings come from domestic tourism (Ministry of Tourism, 2009), yet the attention by the government is primarily directed towards international tourism. In fact, Interactive Travellers®, New Zealand’s target market, comprise young people and more mature tourists travelling without children (Tourism New Zealand, 2009) creating a gap for families with children. This article looks at the significance of domestic holidays for New Zealand families. It establishes a definition of Kiwi family holidays and explores additional aspects of national and social identity formation. Introduction Domestic tourism in New Zealand remains an under-researched area as governmental attention is on attracting overseas tourists and export earnings. Yet, NZ$ 8.1 billion was spent by domestic travellers in 2008 making up over half of all the tourism economic activity (Ministry of Tourism, 2009). The family, including children, represents a large domestic market for the tourism industry but gets little recognition largely because family holidays are perceived as less economically valuable than the international tourists coming to New Zealand. This differs from the New Zealanders or Kiwis themselves who perceive the annual family summer holiday as a well-loved Kiwi icon and a symbol of Kiwi identity. Enjoyment of New Zealand’s outdoors, and particularly its extensive coastal areas, is considered an essential part of the Kiwi lifestyle (Barnett and Wolfe, 1993). Camping holidays have featured strongly for the Kiwi families over the years and are appreciated for their back-to-basics approach and ability to increase social relationships with family and friends (Department of Conservation, 2006).
