The New Zealand tourism industry is looking forward to engaging with the Government on the Industry Transformation Better Work Action Plan recently released for consultation, according to Tourism Industry Aotearoa (TIA).
Tourism Minister Stuart Nash has made public the draft He Mahere Tiaki Kaimahi - Better Work Action Plan, devised by a Leadership Group including tourism industry representatives.
It builds on recent work by the Parliamentary Commissioner for the Environment, Tourism Futures Taskforce, Climate Change Commission, and others.

“A recent survey carried out by TIA found that getting the right people in the right place in the right roles is the biggest concern for tourism employers around the country. The survey showed that 75 percent of tourism businesses are currently recruiting, and 58 percent of roles on offer are full-time positions,” said Rebecca Ingram, TIA Chief Executive.
“A group of industry leaders has put considerable time and energy into developing the draft document. TIA will be actively participating in the consultation process to build a more sustainable workforce model for our members and individuals who choose to build their career in tourism.”
Tourism has terrific career prospects throughout New Zealand, and a large variety of jobs are available for those interested in breaking into the industry as it rebuilds.
