During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Government provided Regional Tourism Organisations with funding to develop Destination Management Plans (DMPs). These plans have now been completed. The Government is seeking to establish a centralised team as part of the next step in Aotearoa’s Destination Management journey.
The team will bring a national perspective to regional tourism issues; engage in the activity of Destination Management across all regions of Aotearoa New Zealand; and work to support other tourism activities carried out by Regional Tourism Organisations, Māori Regional Tourism Organisations (MRTOs), and other organisations that have a focus on regional tourism.
The national Destination Management team is an interim step, and as such, it will be managed as a time-limited project, using best practice methodologies. The Ministry is looking for a credible supplier with strong existing relationships and experience in Aotearoa New Zealand’s Regional Tourism sector. The supplier needs to:
• Establish a new team that has sufficient capacity to engage nationally on Destination Management issues. This includes conducting recruitment and ensuring appropriate resources, structures, and workplace policies are in place.
• Work closely with MBIE during the establishment of the team and as it conducts its work.
• Report regularly on agreed metrics associated with the outcomes sought.
• Communicate regularly with the tourism sector about the team and its work.
• Disestablish the team at the end of two years and ensure that outstanding work and connections are transferred to an appropriate organisation.
