Answer

As Minister of Tourism & Hospitality, I have no responsibility for any government departments or Ministries. In respect of the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment, I refer the Member to the Minister for Economic Growth’s answer to written parliamentary question 34819 (2026). With regard to Crown entities under the Tourism & Hospitality portfolio, I am advised that Tourism New Zealand has no public engagement surveys planned or underway regarding the use of AI.
