Setting up and Access Tourism Business in New Zealand, Continued
Guest Post: Continuing on from April 16, 26, May 13 and 23………….
Well we are certainly learning about this whole new world of accessible tourism and the dynamics of developing a business. Just to recap we have been exploring the idea of setting up an accessible tourism business but have been challenged by the how little information there is about the international visitor market travelling to NZ with accessibility issues. We decided to solve our lack of information by just asking people for information!! We currently have a survey (isn’t SurveyMonkey a great website!!!) out in the stratosphere. Interestingly, we obviously have much to learn about using social networking sites to distribute our survey as the response from them has been next to useless. Our best response has been via friends who understand what we are trying to do and who have networks with organisations that support those with disabilities.
BUT MORE RESPONSES ARE NEEDED!! Can we be ever so bolshie and ask you to take 2 minutes now to fill in our survey – go on!! The survey is open until mid June and already we are getting eye opening information. The feedback is telling us that there some major themes of what people with disabilities need tourism operators to consider. Overwhelmingly it seems they are not considering these factors to our NZ’s reputation detriment.
(Note: Access Tourism NZ is not involved in any way with this survey – Admin)
