Our tourism and geography talks are tailored to the student level and we discuss requirements with the teachers prior to their arrival. For the geography/ tourism component of Australia and New Zealand school curriculums, ZORB Rotorua is able to talk on the following topics: consent processes, working with local iwi, geographic features of New Zealand, Rotorua as a destination, the location of a tourism business, adventure tourism, and work roles in the tourism business. Curriculum based student talks and worksheet available on request.

NCEA Levels

Students will be able to collect information on how the cultural process of tourism development has shaped the Rotorua environment while on a visit to Rotorua. Teachers need to provide their own worksheets and activities for some providers. We supply you with a satellite image of the Rotorua Central Business District, a map of the Rotorua urban are to show tourist attractions & a map of the Rotorua CBD
REN Members who can provide talks to students on request are:
Rotorua Museum, Skyline Skyrides Rotorua, Kaitiaki Adventures, Te Puia, Agrodome, ZORB, Wai-O-Tapu & Katoa Lake Rotorua.

Attractions listed are able to offer a talk on the sustainability of tourism development focusing on their product and in relation to their operations. But also with views on the wider issue and the actions that are needed to keep tourism in Rotorua sustainable, we have from the website a worksheet for students to complete when an attraction is booked through us to help teachers with material and to give students something to work with. When you book through us we can offer the password protected link to gather this information.
