New Zealand does not deserve its clean green reputation. Kiwis are advertising their country as one of the cleanest and greenest places in the world but this is not true, we have ruined the wand and its native wildlife. We are on our way to recovery but are still a long way off.
Most New Zealanders and travel agencies are selling New Zealand as a place with no environmental flaws and perfect wildlife. Travel agencies and web sites overestimate the New Zealand environment to drive tourist into the country. They do this by lying to the tourists and only showing the very best of New Zealand and say the whole country is just as pristine. WikiTravel.org said: “The country is blessed with stunning scenery that changes every few kilometres from rolling green hills to dense bush, crystal clear lakes, towering mountain tops and pristine sandy beaches.” NewZealnd.com even said; “It’s all here, no wonder New Zealand is becoming such a popular location for movies.” From these quotes you can see that the New Zealand reputation around the world is pristine, clean and green. I think this makes a bi...

Social and ethnic qualities of New Zealand differ from that of the United States, but only because of the two countries physical location in relation to each other. New Zealand is located in Oceania. It is in the South Pacific Ocean, roughly 2,500 miles off the southeastern coast of Australia. Many cultural and social similarities exist between America and New Zealand. This is largely due to the fact that European immigrants form the largest ethnic population of New Zealand. English is the official language of New Zealand. However, the native language of Maori is one of its official languages as well, although very few in New Zealand speak it. The food in New Zealand is slightly different than the United States. Instead of beef, New Zealanders use lamb as their primary meat and it is a major export of the country. In addition to lamb; pork and venison are common meals, as well as a huge assortment of seafood. New Zealanders also have the perfect terrain and weather for good vineyards so wine and cheese are common appetizers seen around the country. The food eaten in New Zealand is very much similar to the United States, although it may perhaps be cooked and presented in a slightly different manner. Obv...

One of the key elements of tourism is the quality of the environment, both natural and man-made. Tourism however, can have a negative effect on the environment due to people not caring for the environment because it is not an area where they normally reside, so they do not consider what long-term effects that their temporary actions may have. Tourism that is not regulated or controlled can lead to negative environmental impacts on air, water, soil, vegetation, and wildlife quality and sustainability.

Currently New Zealand is finally recovering from the rapid economic growth it experienced in the mid-90s, now that the worst of the Asian financial crisis effects are over. New Zealand lost many export markets in Asia, but looked to the U.S. and European markets to replace the lost customers. The country remains dependent on trade due to its small size and isolation; price and access to foreign markets are a constant concern.

Golf tourism is spreading rapidly all over the world in places like Asia and Mexico. Although most people who play the sport of golf play because of its interaction with nature, what most golfers do not realize or consider is the damaging environmental impact on the sport. The booming golf trade throughout the world creates a haven for golfers and a nightmare for environmentalists. According to members of the Malaysia-Based Asia-Pacific People’s Environment Network, golf development is becoming one of the most unsustainable and damaging activities to people and the environment (TED Case Studies, 1997).

The New Zealand industry is now dominated by the private sector and includes numerous international companies. It also includes an increasing proportion of small forest growers. A key part of the forests in the New Zealand Indigenous environment is to help protect the many values of

Legislation aimed at protecting New Zealand’s environment and natural resources has been through countless reforms to better tailor it to the various discourses that surround environmental management. In Simin Davoudi’s (2012) reading “Climate Risk and Security: New Meanings of “the Environment” in the English Planning System”, Davoudi discusses that environment can be seen in various different ways, as local amenity, heritage ,landscape ,nature reserve, as a store house of resources, as a tradable commodity, as a problem, as sustainability and as a risk (Davoudi, 2012). Although, Davoudi’s typology relates to aspects of New Zealand’s environmental management paradigms, it fails to include some important aspects such as indigenous and community inclusion. Davoudi’s (2012) typology can provide for future guidance in the discourse surrounding environment as risk.
The phrase ecotourism seems to be on the lips of many travel agents and corporations looking for new ideas in executive or "yuppie" getaways. But many "civilians" are wondering what ecotourism is and what is expected of them if they do go on a so-called ecotour. Ecotourism is defined in different ways, by different groups of people with different agendas. Many tourists are attracted to the adventure that is associated with many remote, natural areas. Others wish to encourage conservation practices in environmentally sensitive areas, using profits to restore habitat, change public perception through education, and develop community. However, local people also want the opportunity for new jobs and capitalist ventures. No matter how one chooses to look at ecotourism, it is a new element shaping the use of rainforests and other natural settings. Likewise, ecotourism appears to be altering the lifestyles of indigenous peoples and causing certain changes in local animal behaviors.
One of the most essential things for tourism to be successful in a particular place is a quality of the environment both natural and man-made. However the tourism industry involves doing many activities that have a negative effect on the environment.
