Dunedin Destination Plan
The Dunedin Destination Plan was published in 2018 and was one of the first of its kind in New Zealand. The plan outlined how the Dunedin City Council’s Enterprise Dunedin proposed to market and manage Dunedin as a destination, in partnership with city stakeholders. Following the release of new Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) Destination Management Plan guidelines and the significant changes to the visitor sector over the period since it was published, the Dunedin City Council’s Enterprise Dunedin has commissioned The Pyjama Strategist and Angus & Associates to complete a rewrite of Dunedin’s Destination Plan, which is expected to be completed by end of year 2022.
