Strategy outline of Waitomo Adventure’s Survival Course
What’s being proposed?
I am proposing an idea called ‘Survival of the wilder worms’ held at Waitomo adventure’s ltd as I know they have a lot of bush land for this to be held there. I would like to propose to the owner of Waitomo Adventures this as it would benefit their company by having an extra activity for groups to take part in.
What you will learn is how to build a natural shelter, light lasting fires, build a search and rescue fire, tread water and learn how to survive underground in a cave, collect water and learn how to purify it, how to use a compass, find your way home in the wilderness and how to tie knots.
Waitomo Adventures are an adventure tourism facility providing

Because there is no other survival course that goes underground into large caves in New Zealand.
This is a unique way to spice up the business of Waitomo Adventures because of the thrilling underground caves that are naturally formed and come with New Zealand’s own beautiful native glow worms to make the experience just that bit better the many acres of land to get lost in.
I believe this strategy would increase turnover and profit to the company as many tourists come to New Zealand purely for an adventure tourism experience and learning a 3 day survival lesson in the remote native bushland & underground caves will have people

This will also target customers who love to get amongst and be one with nature.
Market research
The research I have found was my exact thoughts of how they would look on their websites, typical survival course businesses that are already running called Hillary outdoors, SOS, bush Craft, and Zombie survival all New Zealand wilderness courses. They all incorporate survival techniques and skills that you will find so helpful when in the bush, but what makes this Survival course unique is nobody in the world has a underground survival course that is specifically used to show people how to survive if ever in a cave.

    Once I turned six, my parents sent me to Camp Wanakita for the first time, which was the origin of one of the most important parts of my life. Although the earliest few years, I needed some persuading to return to camp, I nonetheless believe that, if the opportunity presents itself, all children should go to Wanakita, because of the opportunities for unique friendships, the setting conducive of a connection to nature, and an environment that encourages the development of new skills. Perhaps the most important reason why all children should go to Wanakita is the formation of friendships at camp. The camp songs and traditions encourage a sense of camaraderie between campers which is vital to the creation of good friendships. Another reason why camp is a good place to make friends is…

The Japanese population dominates such a huge share of the market that any change in the Japanese tourist trend would have a drastic consequence on the situation of the industry.

    A detailed research into the ecotourism and indigenous rights in Australia was conducted by Poirier. The journal article places a focus on the issues and cultural implications of ecotourism in the Australian context. It has become difficult to implement ecotourism in the Australian tourism industry as indigenous people are strengthening their stance against ecotourism and ensuring their beliefs are given recognition. The authors make direct links to national parks, including Uluru-Katatjuta and Kakadu, emphasising the importance of retaining a natural environment, as opposed to an aggressive promotion of ecotourism. Poirier is a Professor in the Department of Politics & International Affairs at the Northern Arizona University.…
