GOOD FOR YOUR SOUL – Kaitiaki
Kia ora
We’ve been working on something pretty exciting, and we’d love for you to be part of it! People come to Hauraki Coromandel for its stunning nature, and through tourism, we have the opportunity to protect and enhance it. GOOD FOR YOUR SOUL – Kaitiaki is a simple and meaningful way for businesses, locals, and visitors to give back.
As an industry, we have the chance to lead the way in regenerative tourism. This is our opportunity to champion a future where tourism improves our local biodiversity. We’d love for you to be part of this journey!
How it Works
|
|
To be a GOOD FOR YOUR SOUL - Kaitiaki, all you have to do is donate 12 trees to one of Hauraki Coromandel's 17 planting sites. All trees are locally eco-sourced, and $1 per tree goes toward predator control to protect our native wildlife. |
Make it Your Own
Beyond this commitment, there are so many ways to weave tree planting into your business in a way that fits your brand.
🌱 Dedicate a tree for every customer, tour, sale or occasion
🌱 Offer guests an optional tree donation at booking
🌱 Create eco-friendly packages—like “eco-stays” or “green tours”—with a portion supporting tree planting
Bring GOOD FOR YOUR SOUL – Kaitiaki into your brand in a way that works for you.
Early Success!
We truly believe this is going to take off. 733 trees have already been donated! Check out the GOOD FOR YOUR SOUL – Kaitiaki section on the website where you’ll find features like a tree counter, leaderboard, and world donation map.
Leading the Charge
All 17 planting sites have already received donations! Some wins worth celebrating is the support flowing into Mautohe Cathedral Cove, thanks to operators in that area. In just two months, Glass Bottom Boat Whitianga customers have donated 25 trees, which Glass Bottom Boat has matched with another 25. Ridge Runner Coromandel had every entrant plant a tree in their event—totalling 200 trees! And Hot Water Beach TOP 10 Holiday Park has contributed 50 trees to the initiative. That’s just a few operators; imagine the impact as more businesses get on board!
We’d love for you to own GOOD FOR YOUR SOUL – Kaitiaki too. An epic logo is on its way, but in the meantime, work your magic and start sharing it with the world.
By getting involved, you’ll be part of a region-wide movement that not only benefits the environment but also gives you a unique story to share with your customers.
