Landmarks Whenua Tohunga[edit]
Landmarks Whenua Tohunga is a programme that encourages New Zealand and international tourists to discover and experience the stories of Aotearoa New Zealand through its heritage sites.
How it works[edit]
Landmarks Whenua Tohunga promotes historic sites and encourages people to visit them by showcasing selected sites that tell significant stories of New Zealand’s past and connecting them in a tangible way [1].
The programme is a partnership between Manatū Taonga - Ministry for Culture and Heritage, the Department of Conservation Te Papa Atawhai, Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga and Ministry of Business Innovation and Employment Hīkina Whakatutuki.
Landmarks Whenua Tohunga was launched in Northland in 2016 [2] with nine iconic heritage sites, and twelve Otago locations were announced in December 2017 [3] [4]. The sites were selected according to set criteria [5]:
- special significance to New Zealand
- storytelling potential
- iwi benefit
- community benefit
- stories that matter to people
- accessibility
- family friendly facilities
- potential to grow
- a high level of presentation
- an owner willing to be part of Landmarks.
