The Whāingaroa Raglan Destination Management Organisation (WRDMO) has rebranded to Go Raglan and wants to hear your views on the future of our town as a visitor destination.
Taking their message on the road, WRDMO representatives Charlie Young, Lisa Thomson, and Jacqueline Anderson will be hosting a series of pop-up roadshows over summer starting with the Raglan Growers’ Market on Friday, December 12. Everyone who completes the survey will go in the draw to win a Wahine Moe cruise for two, and there’ll also be a raffle for a basket filled with local goodies. Keep an eye out for the team at other local events and pop-ups.
“We’re all on this journey together, so it’s important everyone has a say in creating great visitor experiences that benefit us all,” Jacqueline says.
Feedback gathered through the roadshow will help shape a five-year tourism and events plan for Whāingaroa Raglan.
“We’re keen to understand the community’s concerns, as well as the benefits people see in a thriving visitor and events economy,” she says.
The five-year plan will help guide future events and support applications for local and central government funding to strengthen sustainable tourism.
“Our goal is to develop a sustainable pathway that allows tourism to thrive while keeping Raglan’s unique vibe alive and ensuring the benefits are shared across the whole community.”
The roadshow is supported by Raglan Naturally and the Department of Internal Affairs.
