Tiaki means to care for people, place and culture.
New Zealand is precious, and everyone who lives and travels here has a responsibility to look after it. The Tiaki Promise is a commitment to care for New Zealand, for now and for future generations.
In Queenstown, that means caring for our environment, our mountains, lakes and rivers, camping responsibly and toileting in the facilities provided, driving with consideration and to the conditions year-round, and respecting everyone you meet, visitor or local.
Tiaki is for all travellers to embrace when they come to Queenstown. To commit to travelling in this way is to take the Tiaki Promise.
