Local Government and the Tourism Strategy
Outcome Four of the New Zealand Tourism Strategy 2015 is, “The Tourism Sector and Communities to Work Together for Mutual Benefit”. The Strategy states that the role of local government is to provide:
- Infrastructure and facilities, such as roads, water, waste management, lighting, and, in some areas, public transport. Many local authorities also operate attractions such as museums, art galleries, gardens, sports venues, and events for the enjoyment of both locals and visitors
- Visitor information and marketing services through the i-SITE network, signs and the Regional Tourism Organisations
- Planning support for the tourism sector, including regional tourism strategies, destination-management plans, Long-Term Council Community Plans and District Plans.
