Explanatory notes
1
This unit standard is designed to assist the learner to identify the uniqueness of
Māori culture. It is thought that Māori language expression will enable the learner to
gain an understanding of the interconnectedness of Te Ao Māori. By understanding
these aspects the learner will be able to explain these differences for manuhiri and
highlight the significance for tourism.
2
For the purpose of this unit standard the distinction between attraction and product is
attractions relates to the physical destination and a product is the activity centred
around the attraction.
