Tourism New Zealand Shared Site

A Tourism New Zealand shared work space has been developed for the Tourism New Zealand Trade, Businesses Events, IMP, Premium and IMP teams, and Regional Tourism Organisations (RTOs). This allows shared access to key documents i.e. Risk Assessment and Safety Plans, which are now required in order to jointly undertake familiarisations, and assist compliance with the current Health & Safety legislation requirements.


To request access to the shared work space contact either:

IMP Famils: Jo Mackie - [email protected]

Business Events & Premium Famils: Anna Fennessy - [email protected]

Trade Famils: Paul Trowell - [email protected]


For Trade, Businesses Events, IMP and Premium famils the Tourism New Zealand famil coordinator will contact the RTO and supply a link when the Risk Assessment and Safety Plan is ready for editing. This file can be found in the directory. Tourism New Zealand will lock this file one week pre famil departure date so please make sure you complete your section of the Risk Assessment and Safety Plan prior to the cut-off date.
