Webinar report - 100% Pure Future – New Zealand Tourism Renewed

Abstract

[...]the recent announcement from Minister Stuart Nash that the Tourism Futures Taskforce will be shut down (Jamieson, 2021) was mentioned by several speakers with concerns raised regarding how the Taskforce's interim report recommendations will be implemented. Covid-19 has enabled New Zealand to better understand the value of the domestic tourism market, and simultaneously, New Zealanders have increased their connection with their own backyard and their sense of collectivism. [...]drawing on more than 30 years of experience in sustainable tourism development, Dave Bamford charted a path forward to balance the use and protection of New Zealand's national parks.
