Tourist Hazard Awareness on the Tongariro Alpine Crossing

This study will provide an updated view of tourism multi-hazard and risk awareness using Tongariro National Park as a case study. We aim to assess tourist perceptions, preparedness, and the effectiveness of current risk communication. Employing a multi-hazard, risk communication approach, we will conduct summer season surveys across multiple sites within the park. The updated survey will incorporate insights from recent literature, stakeholder input, and scientific expertise to better understand how perceptions and behaviours may have shifted.
