Joining with TIANZ’s Great Adventure

Joining with TIANZ’s Great Adventure
March 10, 2014

Adventure and outdoor tourism operators are being invited to attend The Great Adventure 2014, taking place in Wellington on 19th and 20th June.

Following the success of last year's inaugural Great Adventure, planning is well underway for another event that will bring together the adventure and outdoor sector to share their experiences, and tackle the challenges of building a strong, unified and prosperous sector.

Event organiser the Tourism Industry Association of New Zealand (TIANZ) expects that 2014 will be a pivotal year for the sector, as the new auditing regime is implemented. Attendees will discuss issues facing the sector, as well as having opportunities to learn new ideas and skills with immediate practical use in their businesses.

The programme will begin with a networking function on the evening on Thursday 19th June, followed by a full day of presentations and workshops on Friday 20th June.
