Waiheke Island Tourism Inc.

Waiheke Island Tourism Inc. (WITI) is focused on the sustainable promotion of Waiheke as a world-class visitor destination. Waiheke is a significant and unique location, and the overall sustainability of our island means securing its economic, environmental, social and cultural success. WITI is an important channel for ensuring those areas are appropriately focused and managed for the benefit of our wider community. Our committee’s mandate covers: • Engagement with Government and tourism industry bodies at a national and local level to lobby on behalf of operators on the island. • Coordinating education and training opportunities for members and employees in areas such as hospitality, viticulture, cultural heritage and environmental management • Marketing and promotion of the island’s tourism operations, activities and events through communications and PR, and securing of funding for growth initiatives. • Drive sustainable tourism practices through education to our members and visitors. • Providing a funnel for information from national and international tourism organisations, as well as between members to help promote businesses with others on our island. Membership of WITI opens up a world of benefits and, as New Zealand continues to be highlighted on the world stage and Kiwis look to explore amazing spots in their own backyard, there's never been a better - or more important - time to join! We currently have over 100 active members, providing a significant pool for ideas and skills to be shared.
