3 In 2012 aspirational 10 year goals were set to galvanise and focus the Wanaka region s visitor industry, targeting a massive step change in the visitor economy and its contribution to our community. Good progress is being made, especially in the past 24 months where the Wanaka region has gained significant market share with visitor spend growth rates the highest in New Zealand and visitor growth rates well ahead of overall NZ performance. Guest nights are tracking ahead of 10-year goal targets for 2016/17 and guest arrivals exceeded the final 2021/22 target in YE June Stay length is marginally down on target but trending up. YE April 2017 visitor spend increased 18% to contribute $494 million (or $1.36 million per day) to our economic wellbeing, creating the majority of jobs and providing our community with a level of infrastructure and amenity that wouldn t otherwise be supported by a population of approximately 10,000 residents. The visitor market is buoyant with strong growth forecast - especially from China, Australia and USA and knowledge of our visitors continues to improve with new data sets - like MRTE and QRIOUS - offering better insights and understanding. Technological advances enable more efficient targeting of potential visitors at all stages of the traveller journey as they dream, plan, book, experience and share their travel to and around New Zealand and the Wanaka region. Strong visitor growth is presenting some challenges, with infrastructure (carparks and toilets) under pressure, and supply constraints evident with commercial accommodation occupancy exceeding 70% for 7 months of the 2016/17 period. Continuing to offer a high-quality visitor experience and managing the impact of visitors is critical for continued public goodwill, and to ensure future growth is sustainable and respectful of our community and our environment. The Wanaka region is well poised to take advantage of these trends but needs to ensure core marketing activity is tightly targeted to build on long-term strategic advantages and capitalise on opportunities to achieve our target of 1,045,000 guest nights by Growing awareness and preference for travel to the Wanaka region goes to the heart of the work that Lake Wanaka Tourism undertakes. LWT s mission, on behalf to our 460+ members, is to promote our spectacular region to the world, to inspire people who share our values to visit, stay and share their experience. Marketing activity will focus on improving business viability by spreading visitor demand to shoulder seasons, targeting value over volume and increasing stay length, which will create better job opportunities, optimise capacity use and encourage investment. This plan outlines the core strategies that guide our long-term activity. In brief, these are: A clear, compelling and differentiated brand identity is the cornerstone strategy to ensure success. Leveraging marketing activity through joint ventures, key partner channels and leading technology platforms to significantly enhance the reach of the Wanaka region message and building awareness of its four-season appeal. Targeting a balanced portfolio of markets to enable the Wanaka region to attract a mix of travellers to appeal to different seasons, segments and sectors. Lifting the profile of events, C&I and weddings will provide compelling reasons to visit, particularly in the shoulder season. LWT will also proactively advocate to local and national organisations responsible for destination management (eg: QLDC, DOC, NZTA, LINZ and TIA) on issues that affect the quality of the visitor experience and visitor satisfaction. (eg: Responsible Camping, water quality, etc) We encourage all members to actively work with us in promoting the Wanaka region. Together we can achieve greater success.
4 Mission Statement Vision Statement Through innovative marketing and storytelling, the Wanaka region will be recognised as a leading NZ destination, delivering an outstanding visitor experience. Values Lake Wanaka Tourism will provide leadership and support for its members and act as an advocate for our place, our people and our visitors, to uphold the core values that connect our community and visitors: Structure & Funding Lake Wanaka Tourism is a Regional Tourism Organisation formed in 1993 to market the Wanaka region to domestic and international visitors. The Wanaka region is bounded by Haast Pass in the north and the Crown Range saddle to the south and includes the towns of Wanaka, Albert Town, Lake Hawea, Makarora, Cardrona and Luggate. Members of Lake Wanaka Tourism pay a tourism levy through commercial or accommodation rates to Queenstown Lakes District Council. This funding is collected on LWT s behalf and remitted quarterly. Subscription membership is also available to eligible businesses who wish to access membership benefits. As an incorporated society, Lake Wanaka Tourism is governed by an elected Board of Directors, who meet monthly to ensure that organisation goals and objectives are being delivered on by LWT staff. Lake Wanaka Tourism represents all members in the Wanaka region and where possible acts to develop member capabilities. Core Competencies Lake Wanaka Tourism aims to live up to the following competencies: Maintain a fresh, unique and appealing brand Recognised for innovative marketing and storytelling Nimble and responsive to opportunities Ability to test, learn and quickly adapt in a rapidly changing market. Innovative and embracing of online and new technologies Supported by an invested and committed team Fast follower behind Tourism NZ s lead to capitalise on opportunities
5 In 2012 new 10 year goals were set to serve as aspirational targets to drive our visitor economy forward. Through a thorough consultation process, 89% of members supported these goals and 85% supported the increase in resources required to reach for these goals. 10 Year Goals in Detail Guest Night Target generated from arrivals and stay length, The gap between the Guest Night trend line and forecast shows the magnitude of the step change targeted, with increased stay length vital to reach these targets. As the Wanaka region moves towards these goals, it is inevitable that visitor numbers will fluctuate from year to year as we transition through economic cycles, raise awareness in new/emerging markets, drive sufficient volume/value and experience supply constraints. Arrivals 1 3% growth per year From 299,000 baseline to 372,000 in 2021/22. 24% total x Stay Length 1 2% growth per year From 2.29 baseline to 2.81 in 2021/22%. 23% total. Progress Towards 10 Year Goals Guest Night, Arrival, & Stay Length performance Guest Nights 1 5% growth per year From 680,000 baseline to 1,045,000 in 2021/22. 54% total. Delivering increased spend Spend 2 35% growth by 2021/22 Notes: 10 year goals measured through 1: Commercial Accommodation Monitor (CAM) and 2: Monthly Regional Tourism estimates (MRTE). Target figures exclude visitors staying in non-commercial accommodation (eg: private/holiday houses). Growth based on market forecast and historical performance (5 & 10 year averages). See detailed figures in 06 Appendices. Note: 2016/17 CAM performance figures include July-March (actual) and April-June (forecast).
6 Progress Towards 10 Year Goals 2016/17 Performance Summary All key indicators experienced year on year growth when comparing 2016/17 to 2015/16.

16 New Zealand Tourism Industry Goals and Priorities NZ Industry Goals focused on Value, not Volume Since our goals were set, the Tourism Industry Association (TIA) has led the creation of the Tourism 2025 framework to focus what is a fragmented and complex industry around shared aspirational goals to increase international visitor value by 6% per year and 4% per year from domestic visitors. The 2025 Framework is underpinned by 5 key themes increased value, outstanding visitor experience, raising productivity, improving air connectivity and better research insights. At TRENZ 2017, TIA released a Tourism Election Manifesto containing 29 priority actions for the incoming Government, grouped under three themes: A sustainable industry, for New Zealand s tomorrow Invest in infrastructure, for New Zealand s tomorrow Support tourism, for New Zealand s tomorrow. TIA s Tourism 2025 goal is to build an industry that is socially, environmentally and economically sustainable. This can be done with political and policy recognition, backed by a supportive environment for infrastructure investment. Tourism NZ marketing focus Tourism New Zealand s strategy for the next four years (FY18 - FY21) has a greater focus on increasing international tourism in the regions and shoulder seasons, and is supported by three priorities. LWT will proactively work with Tourism NZ to progress our goals. NZ Tourism Forecasts Visitor arrivals to New Zealand are expected to grow 4.8% a year, reaching 4.9 million visitors by 2023 (+39%) from 3.5 million in 2016 and total international spend is expected to reach $15 billion in 2023, up 52% from Strong short-term growth will be driven by a range of factors, including an increase in airline capacity, low travel costs, international events planned in NZ, and destination marketing. Growth is forecast to moderate in the medium to long-term. Growth in visitor numbers is expected to be the main contributor to overall international spend growth, with increasing spend per trip (or visitor) also playing a significant role. Most of this forecasted growth is expected to come from holidaymakers and those visiting friends and relatives. China to overtake Australia as our largest market by spend and reach $4.3 billion annually by Visitor numbers are expected to reach just under one million. China is expected to contribute to 37% of total international visitor growth from 2016 to 2023, and 51% of total visitor spending. though Australia will remain the largest source of visitor arrivals to contribute 1.8 million annual visitors by 2023, up 25% from 1.4 million in 2016, or 3.2% each year. For full details on the NZ Tourism Forecasts, visit Air Connectivity Air connectivity is vital as it turns on the tap of visitor flows. A strong forecast for tourism demand has been met by multiple announcements from airlines adding extra domestic and international capacity and opening up new routes.
