Review of ADS Code of ConductIn November 2007 a new Code of Conduct (the Code) for Inbound Operators involved in the handling of Approved Destination Status (ADS) tour groups was established. At the time that the new Code was developed and introduced, it was agreed with the Government that the Code would be reviewed within the first two years of operation, and that the review would consider its scope, compliance effectiveness and operating efficiency. Tourism New Zealand is now seeking industry feedback as part of a review of the Code. The review process will be conducted by Tourism New Zealand and the Ministry of Tourism, with feedback and input from key industry stakeholders. Discussion paper The purpose of the discussion paper (attached below) is to invite industry feedback on what changes could be made to the Code to improve its effectiveness and better achieve the objectives set out in the Code. The review will evaluate ways of improving the effectiveness of the Code, consider removal of areas of repetition and redundancy, and improve the clarity of intent in key sections of the Code.
