strategic plan for doubling the income

The New Zealand plan to doublet tourism income is divided into three phases: at short notice, in the medium term and long -term. Only the long -term goals should include improving work quality in the tourism industry, improving the infrastructure and creating regional tourism areas. The strategy is supported by increasing the visa fees and other taxes for foreigners, which has already led to an almost triple increase in income from this sector.

But the New Zealand government not only has an eye on the tourism sector. In the field of science and research, cooperation with Germany is considered particularly valuable. This can be seen, among other things, in the numerous research collaborations that have existed since the signing of the government agreement on scientific and technological cooperation in 1977. Germany ranks as the most important partner of New Zealand in research, Australia, USA, Great Britain and China, such as Cooperation International reported.

Scientific cooperation and innovation promotion

New Zealand universities offer interesting “tenure” positions for young German researchers to further strengthen the cooperation. The promotion of international research, especially in the area of ​​green hydrogen technologies, has also become more important. In March 2021, New Zealand was the first partner country to initiate a bilateral call for funding for international research funding for green hydrogen.

In addition, naval research is considered a central concern, in particular due to the geographical location of New Zealand on the Pacific fire ring. Numerous common scientific publications have already been published in this area. New Zealand also relies on the development of hydrogen technologies; Relevant projects are coordinated by the "Germany New Zealand Green Hydrogen Research Center", which is supported by universities and research centers of both countries.

With a clear focus on tourism and the simultaneous strengthening of scientific cooperation, New Zealand shows strategic foresight that places the foundations for sustainable economic development.
