Sustainability

On 2 December 2020, the New Zealand Government announced the Carbon Neutral Government Programme which aims to achieve carbon neutrality by 2025.

The first step for us is measuring and reporting on Tourism New Zealand emissions and setting gross emissions reduction targets by December 2022.

Our partnerships and Qualmark are two of the key ways in which we support both sustainability and regenerative tourism.  

Our partnerships

Trees that Count

We love the work Trees that Count do to plant thousands of trees across Aotearoa each year. That's why we’ve partnered with Trees That Count to make it easier international visitors to show their love for Aotearoa, by planting a native tree.
