TIANZ recognised for excellence in business support

The Tourism Industry Association New Zealand (TIANZ) has won the New Zealand Business Excellence Foundation Award at the 2015 AUT Excellence in Business Support Awards.

TIANZ was one of 10 category winners, with the Supreme Award going to Advanced Security Group.

The Awards are the only national performance measure for New Zealand organisations that provide business support. Applications are judged by evaluators from the AUT Business School with oversight from the New Zealand Business Excellence Foundation.

Commenting on the award, category evaluator and AUT Lecturer in Accounting Gillian Craig stated

“TIA provides support to large and small businesses in the tourism sector to achieve tangible benefits for the industry and New Zealand.

“It has been instrumental in developing the Tourism 2025 industry growth framework which outlines a clear vision for all tourism operators to work towards.

“TIA also has strong relationships with central and local government.

“I was impressed with TIA’s enthusiasm for New Zealand, and the way its communications and processes ensure member bodies are well supported.”

TIANZ Chief Executive Chris Roberts says the Award recognises the efforts TIA makes to support its 1500 members and the wider tourism industry.

Roberts added “(we are the only national, private sector organisation that represents all sectors of the $30 billion tourism industry, including accommodation, transport, activities and attractions.

“With a membership ranging from large stock exchange listed corporates through to small owner-operated businesses, TIA strives to meet the needs of a diverse business community.

“This Award is a valuable third party recognition that we are achieving high standards in our sector.”
