Planning
In July 26, 2004 the Minister of Tourism, Hon. Mark Burton, launched the tourism planning toolkit which is built on this research programme, at the Local Government Conference in Auckland.
This research programme, funded by the Foundation for Research, Science and Technology (FoRST), has as its goal the improved management of tourism growth and better guidelines to ensure its sustainability.
Tourism planning is brought about by the integration of three key components: demand, supply and capacity. The project has first required the construction of a national model of tourism demand (see Analysing and Mapping Tourist Flows (PDF, 254 KB), and measuring and mapping industry supply responses. Capacity is measured by an in-depth analysis of four community case studies (Kaikoura, 1998; Rotorua, 1999; Westland, 2001; and Christchurch-Akaroa, 2003).
The goal of these case studies is to trace the current status of tourism, to evaluate adaptive and planning strategies, and to provide tools and models to assist Territorial Local Authorities and others in preparing and resourcing tourism plans.
2006 Tourism Planning Book
Understanding the Tourism Host-Guest Encounter in New Zealand: Foundations for Adaptive Planning and Management. Edited by David G. Simmons and John R. Fairweather.
This book provides a unique perspective on toursim planning and management. It makes its case by building a comprehensive picture of tourism development based on an examination of four key tourist destinations in New Zealand and locating these in contemporary national and global planning contexts.
Our focus on local destination area evalution shows our commitment to examining touism where it is most palpable: at the level of encounter between hosts and guests. To frame our research we have built a new model to take account of visitor flow dynamics; and the economic, environmental and social interactions that significantly shape both hosts' and guests' experience of tourism. In turn, destination area evolution, while grounded in local histories, geographies and politics, is also influenced by broader national goals and legislative tools.
The pathway to sustainable tourism recognises the necessity for participation processes to ensure locally-responsive, adaptive tourism management that connect local aspirations with national development objectives.
