To get Kiwis to think positively about tourism careers
Go with Tourism runs a variety of initiatives - from our Education Programme to our career expos, The Itinerary webseries and marketing campaigns - to break down a lingering stigma in New Zealand that successful careers cannot be found in tourism.
Tourism is a fantastic industry to work in and it's our goal to get Kiwis to understand this.
Background
Spearheaded by Auckland Tourism, Events & Economic Development, Go with Tourism first launched on 5 April 2019 to address a skills shortage in Auckland. It featured a game-changing approach to job search and recruitment and an engaging pipeline of activities to attract people to tourism.
The initiative's success in Auckland eventually led to an announcement in August 2019 that Go with Tourism would receive $5.2million from the International Visitor Conservation and Tourism Levy to expand the programme nationwide, over a three-year period.
When COVID-19 hit in 2020, Go with Tourism temporarily shifted its focus to supporting the tourism workforce. The free service aimed to help tourism industry workers with redeployment, guidance, advice and the option to explore educational pathways.
With the worst of the pandemic behind us, however, Go with Tourism is now back on track to deliver its original mandate. Now, more than ever, tourism needs a helping hand in reminding Kiwis that it is an amazing industry to work in.
Since July 2020, Go with Tourism has launched a range of initiatives to help break down negative stereotypes that surrounds tourism careers, such as the Education Programme, The Itinerary webseries, the Pledge A Placement Programme and a variety of engaging marketing activity.
Go with Tourism hopes to build close working relationships with all employers in tourism to rebuild the industry with fantastic new talent.
