The Tiaki Promise and Presence on Harbour - Gift Shop, Oamaru
OUR CHALLENGE Te Wero
At Presence on Harbour in Oamaru, New Zealand we welcome manuhiri (guests) in the spirit of manaakitanga (respect, kindness and hospitality).
As part of a tourism gift store offering souvenirs we also present our visitors with a wero (challenge). This wero is a challenge and commitment to care for New Zealand while they are visiting, whether from overseas or here in NZ. This wero is the Tiaki promise.
As Qualmark member of Tourism New Zealand, we encourage all visitors to pick up this wero. To follow the Tiaki Promise. To act as a guardian, protecting and preserving our home.
