Key Deliverables in the Work Programme for 2003/2004
New Zealand Tourism Strategy
The New Zealand Tourism Strategy 2010 provides the platform for much of the policy work that will be undertaken during the year. In its work with Māori in the tourism industry, the Ministry of Tourism will continue to develop the recommendations from He Matai Tapoi Māori. Significant deliverables include:
- ensuring further development of cultural tourism initiatives;
- in partnership with other government agencies, developing polices that reduce barriers to continued growth, with emphasis on infrastructure and resource constraints;
- building regional tourism organisation capability; and
- contributing to enhanced sustainability for the sector.
Completion of this work programme will promote achievement of the Government's tourism objectives (as articulated in the NZTS 2010 as a sustainable yield driven strategy based on growing tourism demand and financial returns while enhancing the quality of the visitor experience and New Zealanders' quality of life), by ensuring that barriers to continued growth are minimised and that the sector has operating conditions of knowledge and expertise to maximise the benefits from the current and expected visitor numbers to New Zealand
Research and Statistics
This output involves the provision of tourism research, statistics and policy advice on tourism research needs, to assist decision-making processes by government, the tourism industry and other stakeholders. Significant deliverables include:
- ensuring effective provision of the core tourism dataset comprising the International Visitor Arrival and International Visitor Surveys, Domestic Travel Survey, Commercial Accommodation Monitor datasets, and the tourism satellite accounts and forecasting programme including forecasts to 2009; and
- ensuring further development of the core dataset by implementation of the recommendations of the 2002 Review of Tourism Statistics carried out by the Ministry of Tourism.
Sustainable growth of the tourism sector depends upon good decision-making that in turn depends on relevant and timely information. Implementation of this work programme provides the requisite information for high quality decision-making. Further development and research enables longer-term growth to be planned so as to minimise risk and maximise economic growth.
