Kia ora koutou
Rene, Paul and I had our first meeting with Minister Doocey yesterday.
The meeting went well, he was easy to engagement with. Key notes from the meeting were:
s 9(2)(g)(i)
At this point he has no firm views on tourism and hospitality combined under one Minister but hospitality having a
Minister will mean they have someone who will listen, ensure they are valued and have someone to advocate for them.
It’s not clear yet how his role as Associate Transport will work but there are some convos about airline routes.
He was very clear he didn’t want to form any views quickly, he wanted to spend time listening and will be out visiting
key tourism locations regularly for next couple of months. His first trip is to Queenstown on Friday.
When he visits industry the 3 questions he will be asking are: How do we support you to grow? How do we support
people and business? How do we enable bringing value to the regions?
The focus is growth, good value growth and he talked about airline capacity, workforce (local + migration) and
supporting the industry.
s 9(2)(f)(iv)
He grew up working in hotels with his father managing hotels and his grandfather owned them. He worked as a tour
guide overseas and has travelled extensively offshore.
s 9(2)(g)(i)
Attached are the slides we used to brief him which was a summary of our BIM.
Thanks
Nat
