Kristin Dunne is Director of Destination Strategy at Miles Partnership, and a global authority on regenerative tourism. Kristin pioneered the application of regenerative tourism principles in destination planning. As CEO of Tapoi Te Moananui a Toi/Tourism Bay of Plenty Regional Tourism in New Zealand, Kristin launched in 2019 Te Ha Tapoi/The Love of Tourism – a transformative approach to industry and destination planning centred on the value of growing tourism for locals’ sake, and grounded in the principles of regeneration. Love of Tourism is now recognised as a model in contemporary tourism management for many destinations across New Zealand, Australia and beyond. In today's episode Kristin sits down with Visit Northern Tasmania's Chris Griffin to share the vision and strategy of the The Love of Tourism, and how it's been outworked since its launch. In keeping with the theme of our last couple of episodes, Kristin is a leading voice on regenerative tourism, and she explains why interest and investment into this space has accelerated post-Covid, as well as why it is now a critical consideration for all tourism businesses in all markets. If you're confused as to how regenerative tourism principles can be applied in a practical sense, Kristin breaks down the steps to take, and how to communicate what you're doing to your market. Finally, Chris and Kristin chat about the many key features that Tasmania shares with New Zealand when it comes to the value proposition for the tourism. With these shared characteristics in mind, Kristin suggests her hot tips around what Tassie tourism operators should be pushing into right now to make the most of what's bound to be a long and positive regenerative tourism wave.
