Our Commitment To A Sustainable Future
Destination Hauraki Coromandel (DHC) is pleased to share our community's vision that tourism enriches life for locals and visitors, contributing directly to the protection and enhancement of our cultural and natural environment.
We pledge to lead local industry sustainability initiatives and practices, with our activities filtered through a lens of reduced environmental impact and our actions undertaken in a socially and culturally respectful manner. This will allow us to live up to our responsibilities in supporting the New Zealand Tourism Sustainability Commitment and Tiaki Promise.
We need to walk the talk to progress towards this bold vision and fulfil our purpose.

Promoting Sustainable Travel
Joining a Global Force
CHANGE IS ON THE ITINERARY - It’s clear that we need to rethink how we live—both in our everyday routines and during special moments. Some of our most unforgettable experiences happen while traveling, as we immerse ourselves in new places. The tourism industry holds a unique power to connect people with fresh perspectives, and with that comes a deep responsibility to lead change and innovate.
Destination Hauraki Coromandel is proud to collaborate with a growing number of destinations globally (the Collective) that are rising to this challenge. These destinations are driven by leaders who understand what’s at stake, recognise their potential to make a meaningful impact, and ensure that both residents and visitors can experience these innovations firsthand. They are the true trailblazers, setting the course for a better future.
Driving Sustainability - Our Action
Travelers can be part of positive change by choosing destinations that are leading the way in sustainable tourism. By spending money at eco-conscious businesses, like these in The Coromandel, New Zealand, you drive demand for responsible tourism practices and encourage other destinations to adopt similar programs.
Travel Can Make The World A Better Place - It's Our Responsability
"Travel can make the world a better place, but it must do so without environmental, economic and social harm. In the travel industry, and as travellers, we need to pair our words with meaningful action if we are going to improve our lives and the world. Most of the solutions we need are ready to be adopted. Do these things, but don't stop there. To protect our planet we must also take bold action together to achieve policy changes that shift whole systems. This is a big project that needs a big team.
