Ecotourism NZ Conference 2010Date: 2 Sep 2010 Time: 8:00am Venue: Waiariki Institute of Technology City: Rotorua 2 days: 2 & 3 September 2010 The Ecotourism NZ Conference is the biggest event of the year for nature-based tourism in New Zealand. It is recognised for bringing like-minded people together in an atmosphere of warmth and hospitality and is a chance to celebrate the success of our industry, share ideas, discuss latest issues and explore new opportunities. It is also a way of influencing the direction of nature-based tourism, ensuring it is not only successful, but also evolves in a way we are happy with. This year we will be gathering in Rotorua - a region that embraces and celebrates its culture and heritage and a place where communities and businesses are working together to improve and enhance their natural environment. There is a lot to learn from Rotorua. The conference offers an invaluable opportunity to get behind the scenes and find out what makes it so successful. This year's conference is proudly co-hosted by Tai Poutini Polytechnic and Waiariki Institute of Technology. It will be the first time the event is held outside the South Island and we are looking forward to sharing it with our North Island counterparts. Highlights of Ecotourism NZ Conference 2010 include: Field trips, small group workshops, social events, entertainment, in-depth discussion and debate.
