Tourism Māori is an indigenous cultural experience of interaction and engagement

the present generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet
their own economic or business needs.

archaeological tour, adventure tour, nature tour, home stay.

these aspects the learner will be able to highlight the significance for tourism.
