2023 successful grant applications - Grants go to ‘young tourism’ and regeneration
Several grants have been made by the Tourism Industry New Zealand Trust towards the betterment of tourism education and promotion.
The Trust, which is managed by TIA, has given $20,000 to YoungTEC, part of the Tourism Export Council, to fund youth leadership programmes.
Other recipients were:
- The Tourism Teachers Association Inc, to enhance tourism education at secondary schools ($20,000).
- The Centre for GOOD Travel’s Tourism for Resilience and Regeneration programme, an online course on regenerative tourism for small host groups ($20,000)
- TIA for ongoing work on its New Zealand Tourism Sustainability Commitment ($100,000).
TECNZ Chief Executive Lynda Keene welcomed the grant for YoungTEC, saying it was “a real show of faith in the work that YoungTEC is achieving”. The funds will support a South Island version of YoungTEC’s Icehouse leadership day and its Tourism Summit in Auckland on 6 December.
TIA Chief Executive Rebecca Ingram said it was exciting to see the funds being used to encourage young tourism entrepreneurs to share ideas, discuss issues and be inspired.
