2 Definitions
Tourism Māori is an indigenous cultural experience of interaction and engagement with manuhiri.
Natural attractions are attractions in nature which are not man-made. Examples may include but are not limited to paenga pakanga (battle site), pā, awa kōpaka (glacier), awa pounamu, maunga, awa, whenua, moana, ngāwhā, roto, ana, tomo, flora, and fauna. These natural attractions are well known attractions, but not widely known for their Māori history or significance to Māori.
Significant sites are natural attractions with significance to the local Māori people, and are often heard about in the local oral traditions such as waiata, pūrākau, and pakiwaitara. Some examples may include but are not limited to moana, awa, roto, ngāwhā, whenua, maunga, tohu whenua, ana taniwha, ana, urupā, toka, ngāhere.
3 This unit standard is designed to assist the learner to identify the uniqueness of Māori culture. It is thought that Māori language expression will enable the learner to gain an understanding of the interconnectedness of Te Ao Māori. By understanding these aspects the learner will be able to explain these differences for manuhiri and highlight the significance for tourism.
