Answer

As Minister for Tourism and 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 5216 (2026). With regard to Crown entities under the Tourism and Hospitality portfolio, I am advised that all Tourism New Zealand websites currently achieve over 75 per cent compliance with the NZ Government Web Standards for accessibility.
