“Culture isn’t”
Why bother?
“The cultural sector cares about
authenticity”
=
“Tourism doesn’t”
Why bother?
“We’re about cultural excellence”
=
“Sports fans want dumbed-down experiences”
Why bother?
“Sports fans at the Rugby World Cup
will be like a lot of New Zealanders
who don’t come to
our shows/venues anyway”

•High profile potential
•Perception of ‘public good’

Cultural experiences are a factor in
the travel decision-making of 30% international visitors
but less than 10% of domestic tourists
New Zealanders’ attitudes
•Friendly and welcoming to tourists
•BUT much less enthusiastic when it comes to promoting our cultural and historical offerings
•We have a ‘cultural cringe’ about our culture “it’s not worth mentioning to tourists”
Tourism NZ’s assessment
•Comparatively little domestic demand for cultural tourism
•Low participation (except museums & galleries)
•The domestic market is an important focus for cultural tourism development and marketing
A focus for our audience thinking?
Tomorrow’s tourists…• Older &Richer
• The Grand Traveler
• The Health Traveler
• The Tribes

REGIONAL CASE STUDY

•Cultural events – links with Te Papa – blockbuster exhibition
•WOW being rescheduled to before the RWC
•Rugby History Centre
•City themeing
•Plenty of scope to feed into the programme
•Involvement of the arts community is essential
•Offshore promotion through Tour Operators starts in January 2010
•Wellington will develop a marketing campaign that kicks off next year, before any programme details are locked in
IWI CASE STUDY
Ngati Kahungunu
TE IPU – Kahungunu: Bringing home the Rugby World Cup 2011
“Visitors will taste, face and race locals in their own homes, marae and communities. The sporting events will create sweat …. and the tourist-community relationship set with appetites whet.
“Shoulder to shoulder is an institutional approach that Ngati Kahungunu exercises and will apply to this important international event”.
• Ngati Kahungunu is famous for hospitality and seduction.
•We recognize that our whanau Maori are the backbone of NZ rugby and not just our men!
• Our Tamariki are involved on Saturday mornings, our Mums and Dads are taking our kids to their games and cheering them on.
• Maori are POSITIVELY over-represented in the code!
Time for some imagination•RWC2011 is an unparalleled opportunity for the cultural sector
•Its as much about New Zealand audiences as international visitors
•Profile + Engagement + Connectedness = real and sustainable success
