Explanatory notes
1This 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.
2For the purpose of this unit standard the distinction between attraction and product is attractions relates to the physical destination and a product is the activity centred around the attraction.
