TECNZ Launches New Health & Safety Initiative

Tourism Export Council of New Zealand

16 July 2018

The Tourism Export Council of New Zealand (TECNZ) has launched a new Health & Safety (H&S) online checklist to improve the efficiency of H&S data collection, storage, and distribution for all New Zealand tourism operators.

TECNZ has partnered with the Australian Tourism Export Council (ATEC) on this initiative. This is an essential tool for New Zealand travel suppliers especially working in the UK, European, and the US markets. European Union legislation requires European travel wholesalers to ensure that all suppliers participating in their travel programs have implemented satisfactory H&S standards. Up until now, data collection has been time consuming and inefficient due to the need to often replicate the same request multiple times for several users.

“The online checklist will be a fantastic resource to use as a ‘one stop-shop’ for collecting and distributing H&S information, benefiting both our tourism suppliers and inbound tour operators” says Judy Chen TECNZ CEO. “Health & Safety compliance is crucial to the success of all tourism businesses and we encourage suppliers to get behind this initiative to allow easy access to this vital information”.
