 Working groups, consisting of industry and education providers, contributed towards the review of the suite of tourism and travel qualifications.   

The main changes proposed as a result of the review are:  

  •  The Strategic Purpose Statement at Level 3-6 have been amended to include reference to sustainable and regenerative tourism, and cultural heritage. 
  • GPOs for Level 3-4 have remained with minimal changes. 
  • General conditions for programmes have been updated to encompass Māori values and Te Tiriti o Waitangi, sustainable and regenerative tourism, relevant legislations and regulations and considerations for Pasifica and Tangata Whaikaha. 

Level 3

  • Few changes apart from the above. See Draft v3 2199 

Level 4

  • GPO 3 – removed ‘in depth’ and replaced with ‘broad’. See Draft v3  2202
