Finance Minister Grant Robertson announced this afternoon that, as part of Budget 2022, there will be an innovation programme for tourism.
He says this programme will be designed alongside the sector.
“We are also supporting innovation in the tourism sector with the establishment of the Innovation Programme for Tourism Recovery,” Budget 2022 documentation says.
“This programme will support businesses to rebuild on a sustainable basis, working towards a future tourism sector that has greater security by being more productive, low-emissions, and creates high-skill, high-wage employment opportunities.”
More to come.
