Overview

The Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) is seeking to appoint a supplier to provide labour market analysis of entries into, and exits from, jobs in the New Zealand tourism industry.

Increasing global demand is underpinning significant growth in New Zealand’s tourism sector. In the past two years the sector has experienced phenomenal levels of visitor arrivals and spending, and the latest tourism growth forecasts show there is no sign of growth slowing down.

In order for New Zealand’s providers of visitor accommodation, transport, activities and attractions to adequately plan and invest for this continued strong growth, they need to be able to access reliable and appropriately skilled staff. This includes staff that can meet a diverse range of visitor needs. In order for government agencies to establish appropriate policy settings to support tourism providers, we need good quality information about the system that supports people to access the education and training needed to work effectively in the tourism industry.

A gap has been identified in relation to our understanding of the types of qualifications people are attaining before they enter the industry, where these qualifications come from, the usefulness of those qualifications in obtaining work in the industry, and the flow of people into and out of the industry, to the extent this is possible. A key objective of this research will be to provide reliable data to answer these questions and also identify any gaps in our understanding that require further work.
