Making New Zealand Tourism
Early entrepreneurs understood the appeal of New Zealand's natural beauty, giving rise to the world's first Tourism Department. Witness how New Zealand became the tourism mecca it is today.
The third series of Making New Zealand celebrates the struggles and enterprise of our predecessors who built New Zealand from the ground up, telling their stories through archive stills and footage, personal accounts, as well as commentary from experts and historians. This series celebrates the vision, the skill, and the sheer determination that made our country. Each episode tells the amazing stories behind some of our most important industries – from farming, the backbone of the New Zealand economy for many generations, to the burgeoning tourist industry, once maligned by government and now our biggest foreign earner. Episodes like Broadcasting and Manufacturing discover how Kiwis looked to the rest of the world and improved, not simply imitated, the global trends.
