Hon STUART NASH: This Tourism Communities Plan also offers wide support for the industry as a whole. It is an opportunity for Government, councils, iwi, businesses, and tourism operators and communities to work together and reset the industry on a more sustainable model for the future. There are six additional components to the plan to address longer-term challenges nationwide. The first is regional tourism organisations to receive a new round of grant funding of $26 million to coordinate, promote, and market tourism activities in their regions. Two, $14 million to existing loans to inbound tour operators (ITOs) from the 2020 tourism recovery package will be converted to grants. That means 26 ITOs will receive up to $500,000 each. Three, further investment in Māori tourism businesses. The details will be announced by the Minister for Māori Development later this month. Four, $10 million for the Department of Conservation to extend the fee waiver for around a thousand operators on conservation land who pay a tourism concession free. Five, $16.5 million for local councils to be able to apply for another round in the Tourism Infrastructure Fund. And, finally, $10 million for the development of a new tourism industry transformation plan, which will see the Government work in partnership with tourism businesses and the tourism workforce, councils, iwi, and researchers and independent advisers. It will build on recent work by the Parliamentary Commissioner for the Environment, Tourism Futures Taskforce, and Climate Change Commission, among others, to lift industry standards and transform to a more sustainable model.
