Summary

The Green Party supports tourism that is sustainable, inclusive, and enhances the well-being of people and the environment. For Māori, this means protecting and sharing culture through tourism that upholds tikanga and tino rangatiratanga. Aotearoa New Zealand needs a national strategy that supports low-impact tourism, reducing emissions, protecting nature, and strengthening local communities. When tourism is managed responsibly, it creates meaningful connections, supports local economies, and ensures future generations can enjoy our natural and cultural heritage.
