Community Empowerment

Featured Project
  • Accessible Tourism Northland

    Dove's Tail logoGiving everybody a ‘fair go’ is one of the core values of the New Zealand society.  It reflects a long standing ambition for a society that promotes the equal enjoyment of human rights. 

    Disabled people and thier families seek a society in which they can all feel that they have that ‘fair go’, an inclusive and non-disabling society, which is good for all New Zealanders. (New Zealand Disability Strategy)

    Tiaho Trust is seeking to develop Northland into the premier disability friendly tourism destination in the southern hemisphere.  Generally speaking, this is a tourism initiative to develop Northland into an accessible tourist site. 

    The concept involves adapting accommodation outlets, food and beverage outlets, activity providers, shopping outlets, professional service providers, transport providers and religious agencies into accessible domains.  This in turn will attract disabled tourist (and their families) from around the globe to New Zealand which will in turn provide a more inclusive society for all New Zealanders with disability.
