Since the implementation of the Adventure Activity Regulation scheme, Recreation Aotearoa and Tourism Industry Aotearoa have partnered to represent the interests of the Adventure Activity sector. RA and TIA have jointly provided the SupportAdventure website, published the SupportAdventure newsletter and led the development of Activity Safety Guidelines (ASGs).

The Whakaari/White Island disaster has resulted in numerous investigations, reviews and lines of effort by various Government Departments. These include Coronial investigations, WorkSafe NZ’s 13 prosecutions, the DIA consideration of access to Whakaari/White Island and DoC visitor risk management.

 Recreation Aotearoa and Tourism Industry Aotearoa have contributing to a targeted review by MBIE of the adventure activities regime and continues to provide perspectives to WorkSafe, MBIE and other government entities.
