Destination Lake Taupo

What are we about

Destination Lake Taupo is the Regional Tourism Organisation for the Taupo Region.

It is one of 29 Regional Tourism Organisations throughout New Zealand recognised by Regional Tourism Organisations NZ.

Our role is to promote the area as a visitor destination to consumers and to the travel industry, both domestically and overseas. Our Visitor Information Network (i-SITEs) assist us by being our Visitor Industries front line. i-SITEs or Visitor Information Centres are positioned all over the country to provide information and booking services. They are the friendly welcoming faces that direct many of the countries travellers.

Destination Lake Taupo is fully funded by the Taupo District Council, partly from a Marketing Development Rate levied against commercial businesses, and partly from the General Rate.

Apart from reporting to the Taupo District Council, Destination Lake Taupo also reports to the Lake Taupo Tourism Advisory Board, a body made up of ten representatives from the visitor industry and the business community appointed by Council. Destination Lake Taupo includes the Lake Taupo Convention Bureau and two Visitor Centres which are part of New Zealand’s national i-SITE Visitor Information Network, located in the Taupo and Turangi townships. These centres are our front-line information and reservation centres for our customers.
