Answer

In my capacity as Minister for Tourism and Hospitality, I regularly request and receive advice on a range of topics. In the interest of transparency, a list of reports received by my office from the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment and is regularly published on the MBIE website. The lists of titles published are available here: https://www.mbie.govt.nz/about/open-government-and-official-information/release-of-information/lists-of-ministerial-documents-by-portfolio/tourism-and-hospitality
