Delivering the Promise

Tourism is a major contributor to New Zealand's economy, employing nearly one in 10 New Zealanders and earning around NZD50 million a day. But the future growth and sustainability of tourism in New Zealand depends on our ability as an industry to deliver 100% Pure New Zealand experiences.

Tourism New Zealand works with all of these partners to help achieve the goals set out in the New Zealand Tourism Strategy 2015 and has programmes in place to assist in the development of the industry.
