    Making iconic tourism places: A case study of New Zealand's great walks

    Howard, Jacqueline; Espiner, Stephen R.; Stewart, Emma
    Abstract
    New Zealand’s ‘Great Walks’ are a collection of nine, multi-day tramping trips through sections of the country’s national parks.

The tourism industry’s focus on promoting the Great Walks as desirable recreational opportunities for visitors has had a significant impact with 127,000 recreationists utilising the Great Walks during the 2016/17 season, representing an increase of more than 50 percent since 2011....
