Caring for The Coromandel

The Tiaki Promise is a commitment that everyone who lives in or visits New Zealand is invited to make; to act as a guardian, protecting and preserving our home.  Tiaki means to care for people and place.

It is up to all of us to be guardians of The Coromandel.  As a region, we are pledging our commitment to New Zealand by following the Tiaki Promise through practising and supporting local initiatives.  Together we can create a truly sustainable tourism industry that makes a positive and enduring contribution to The Coromandel and ultimately Aotearoa New Zealand. Join us, and take the Tiaki Promise!
