What does regenerative tourism look like to you?

Sarah Van Der Burch | Ōhinehou, Lyttelton

Over the next few weeks, Government - both local and national - are looking for local input on what healthy, balanced tourism should look like on the Banks Peninsula. Community Board would love to hear from as many residents of Banks Peninsula as possible.

At 5:30 on May 3rd, there will be a public workshop at the Community Board rooms, 25 Canterbury Street, to hear from more residents so please come along and provide some input! It should be interesting, engaging, and of value for the future of our community.

If you can't make that workshop, then from the 6-19 th, there will be people at various times in front of the Supermarket, at the Farmer's Market, etc., asking locals a few short questions about the desired future look and feel of tourism for our area. If you happen to be one of the lucky ones asked, I hope you will provide thoughtful answers - the conversation will be short so no need to avoid them!

This is a critical process and will determine much of the tourism focus in our area for 10 to 15 years, so please get your thoughts together and attend the workshop on the 3rd. If you can't make that, there will be resources at the Lyttelton Library until midMay. If you have questions or comments, please contact Kris at: kris@creativeagent.co.nz
