TIA Discussion

Today we had a discussion and presentation from Tourism Industry Aotearoa. We learned a lot about how they are creating specific goals to help all of their members become more sustainable. They divided sustainability into four categories with targets in each. This is a relatively new plan and topic in this organization. That being said there was no mention of specific ways that any of their members could accomplish the targets they set. An area they need to work on is creating plans that companies could follow, or highlighting companies that are already meeting the sustainable goals as a model. It is fine to start out vague when talking about sustainability in so many different areas. However now that the plan has been in place for several years, there need to be checkpoints or ways that all the members are progressing.
