Thoughts On How New Zealand Could Progress As A More Regenerative Tourism Host, Stephen Bradley
Journal of Sustainability and Resilience
New Zealand has a chance to reset the way we view and manage tourism. We must take this chance to make some changes that will ensure that we have a clean green country to promote as a high quality tourism destination in the future. This perspective advocates that measures such as a high visitor levy, educating tourists and better management of the way tourists travel around the country, can lead to achieving more sustainable tourism industry.

This paper looks at indigenous concepts from New Zealand Maori and American Indians that offer philosophy for long term resilience and human-centred decision making. For true resilience, individuals, businesses and governments need to be adaptable, decisive and make long term changes. Operational changes need to come from a change of mindset and cannot return to old systems. Covid-19 has highlighted placing humans at the centre of decision making. This paper looks at the case study of The Seventh Generation Tours, in Akaroa New Zealand and the indigenous concepts of turangawaewae, knowing our connection to place and environment, manaakitanga, hospitality and …

Government Response To Covid-19 And Gender Discrepancy: Tour Operator Perspective From New Zealand, Marie Haley, Asif Hussain
Journal of Sustainability and Resilience
The New Zealand government closed the international borders for the first time in history to pursuit an elimination strategy to COVID-19. This has had a severe impact upon tour operators who have been excluded from a free and fair market, to protect the broader economic and public health systems. This paper argues that the government response needs a focus at the whanau and community level, with a targeted focus on women empowerment in the communities that are dependent upon international tourism. The government should pursue an approach of engagement with systems to facilitate community lead COVID-19 recovery. Thus, allowing the …

Possible Contamination From Rainwater In Community Pool, David Mcgregor
Undergraduate Journal of Mathematical Modeling: One + Two
The project is meant to create an equation that can be used to estimate the amount of organic pollutant – bacteria - that is present in a swimming pool per day from rainwater. This equation is derived through a differential equation of the rate in minus the rate out. The created differential equation is an ordinary linear differential equation and is solved using an integration factor. The general solution is then converted into a specific equation using an initial condition. The resulting equation provides an approximate number of organic contaminants x(t) present in the pool after an …
