2002/2003 Performance Measures and Standards

Policy Advice

Policy advice will be delivered in accordance with the terms of the work programme agreed with the Minister.

Key Deliverables in the Work Programme for 2002/2003

New Zealand Tourism Strategy

Reports will be provided to the Minister on the completion of the tourism strategy implementation work by Local Government New Zealand, Regional Tourism Organisations, Māori (through the Māori Tourism Advisory Group) and Tourism New Zealand's projects in Qualmark and the Visitor Information Network, by 31 December 2002.

Facilitating and resourcing communities of interest or stakeholders in the tourism industry to respond to the recommendations in NZTS 2010 will increase their level of participation in the industry and increase the capacity of these communities to benefit from the development potential that tourism offers.

Active participation both at and between APEC meetings at an official and Ministerial level provides the opportunity to strengthen international ties at both levels. This facilitates access to information on best practice in tourism development policy in 21 APEC member economies.

Research

Key research projects under the Tourism Research Council will be delivered and disseminated. It is estimated that there will be a minimum of 11 research projects completed during the year in accordance with the timetable agreed with the Minister.

Key deliverables in the research programme for 2002/2003 will include:

completing a review of the key tourism information programmes funded by the Government and beginning implementation of the recommendations of the review through the Ministry of Tourism's purchase of two of the key programmes, the International Visitor Survey and the Domestic Travel Survey, by 31 December 2002;
negotiating the purchase and delivery of Tourism Satellite Accounts (TSAs), adjuncts to the system of national accounts which calculate the contribution of the tourism sector to the New Zealand economy, for calendar years 1998 and 1999, by 31 March 2003;
negotiating the purchase and delivery of provisional TSAs for calendar years 2001 and 2002, by 30 June 2003; and
negotiating and delivering the tourism forecasting programme, including forecasts to 2008, by 31 December 2002.

The purchase, delivery and distribution of the Tourism Satellite Account information provide the industry with valuable information on the economic contribution of tourism to assist their decision making. It also provides government agencies with vital information on the extent and distribution of tourism's contribution to the economy to assist in policy making.
