Open Poutama Trust's support and promotion of Maori tourism

Media release from Poutama

Online Gateway for Maori Tourism Now Open

Poutama Trust's support and promotion of Maori tourism has reached another milestone with completion of the first stage of the new website for Indigenous New Zealand. This website creates the ultimate gateway to browse, learn and book Maori Tourism Operators throughout New Zealand.

Poutama knew that a new website which would allow Maori operators to register and take bookings from one central website would be pivotal in the growth of Maori Tourism. Poutama decided to take a leap forward for Maori Tourism and chose to outsource this project. Through the help of tourism marketing and Design Company, Tomahawk, this new website is the first step to bring Poutama’s vision for Maori Tourism to life.

Leading the project for Poutama is Vonese Walker, who enthused “We are excited to get our refreshed Indigenous New Zealand website up to support Maori tourism operators in time for the Rugby World Cup audience. Our Maori culture is what makes New Zealand unique and the Rugby World Cup is a great opportunity to showcase Maori to the rest of the world. We appreciate the guidance that Tomahawk has given us, and thrilled with what they have created. We know that through this relationship we’ll be able to share our culture with the world.”

The new gateway is available for all to see at www.inz.maori.nz [http://spinitwide.com/go/d4e703], and any Maori operators not already online or registered are encouraged to register their interest through the new website.
