Members
One of the strengths of the NZTRI is its ability to tap into the resources of academics both nationally and internationally. Some of the most dynamic academics in tourism and related fields form our organisation, providing access to cutting-edge developments in all aspects of the industry.
Members are those seeking to be a Member would be actively involved in current research or be contributing to the Institute in other ways. This category includes key individuals or organisations with long standing relationships with NZTRI and who make a significant contribution to the work we do.
Associate Members are individuals who maintain an interest in the Institute, but without the same level of active involvement expected of a Member. These are individuals who have been associated with NZTRI in the past, and those wishing to be involved in future projects. Associates have provided details of their research interests and have identified persons with complementary research interests and expertise for potential collaborative activities.
New Members
We welcome new members to NZTRI. There is no geographical or institutional barrier to membership – we currently have members from many different countries and from a range of NGO, private and public sector organisations.
Membership costs nothing and the bulk of our members come to us following informal meetings with existing members at NZTRI. There are two categories of membership offered by the Institute - that of a Member, and an Associate. Essentially, the difference between the two relates to the level of activity and contribution to the Institute. In turn, you will reap the benefit of being part of our international network and have access to our pool of expertise.
Members and Associates receive: newsletters and research updates; invitations to attend our seminars; and may benefit from the shared resources and expertise of our members and associates.
Alternatively, you may just wish to be added to our mailing list to receive updates and invitations to seminars. Naturally, as research is dynamic in nature, an individual or even organisation, may find that they move between these different categories over time.
There are, however, some simple procedures that must be followed if you would like to join via the web:
- Contact Simon Milne or Carolyn Deuchar
- Outline your reasons for membership and what you hope to bring to, and get from, membership to the Institute, also include a brief CV and some idea of your research interests. We will then get back to you to confirm your category of membership.
