Why Become a TIA Member?

"As a long-time member and supporter of our peak industry body for 20 years, I want to acknowledge and recognise the great value generated by the organisation (and of course it’s many hard-working folk over the years). TIA has delivered continuous advocacy work, been the voice to decision makers, the organisation of our premium tourism and related events and brought the various interests within our sector together into a credible and valuable force. In more recent times, TIA has encouraged our sector into the new environmentally conscious era, and growing our sense of manaakitanga and whanaungatanga are significant achievements. Here’s looking forward to the next 20 years."

"Thanks, team TIA for the hard work you do on behalf of your members. You ensure we have a voice with Government ministers and relevant officials, and the events you run for industry are always worthwhile and very well organised. From networking through to advocacy, the tourism sector benefits greatly from your mahi."

"Becoming a member of TIA is important to the industry and it is important to you. As an operator I work within many conditions that are not controlled by me, for example the shape of legislation, political policy and action and organisational partnerships of the industry. TIA are there to advocate and facilitate a coordinated response to these changeable impacts, they help the operators come together to create our own future. TIA have also advocated for increased capability and focus on regenerative tourism and protection of our place. TIA is a membership organisation that needs your partnership and your input. The industry is stronger through a representative voice."
