To respond to the recommendations in the Strategy, the Government requires a significant boost in its tourism policy making and tourism research facilitation capability. The Office of Tourism and Sport is the tourism industry's lead policy agency providing advice to the Minister of Tourism on a wide range of policy issues. It is a semi autonomous unit within the Ministry of Economic Development. Three new Wellington based positions are being established within the Office. These positions will interest individuals seeking to work within a central government tourism policy environment.
All roles require a relevant tertiary qualification.
The Ministry operates an equal employment opportunities policy, and offers a smoke-free working environment.
