Prioritisation framework
The recommended actions listed in the roadmap have been included for a variety of reasons.
On this page
This includes, among other things, alignment with various existing tourism strategies, the Data Domain Plan, and sector support for the initiatives identified in the TDLG’s Initial Report.

Moving forward the TDLG will apply a prioritisation framework (see following page) when deciding whether to recommend particular actions. The following is a summary of the framework that will be used. Thresholds will apply; in some instances (e.g., the Partnership Fund) possible actions will be compared. Further, where MBIE agrees with TDLG recommendations, and subsequently commissions related services, they have agreed to apply related criteria.
7 priorities of the framework
Impact
The sector, or communities (including Māori, iwi, and hapū) will benefit from the initiative (either as tourism stakeholders, and/or as respondents, users, providers, or owners of the data). Thebenefits may cover any of the well-beings.*
The initiative aligns with one or more of the four TDLG Pou.
The data will either
- fill a previously identified high priority gap,
- answer a high-priority enduring question (e.g., Data Domain Plan, ANZGTS etc),
- advance Mātauranga Māori, and/or
- improve sector capability (e.g., researchers, users).
Affordability and opportunity
The resources required (financial, human and infrastructure) are reasonable and proportionate to the benefits that will accrue from the initiative.
The initiative does not come at a significant opportunity cost (i.e., prevent the support of multiple other priority initiatives) or significant risk.
Reach and accessibility
The initiative will provide multiple users, Māori users, and/or users that are not well catered to (including regionally) with quality sought-after data and/or create greater ease of access to, or understanding of, data.
Sustainability
Appropriate contributions (both financial and otherwise) are identified and will be leveraged from the sector.
If the initiative is ongoing, it and its required systems are likely to be sustainable in the absence of the TDLG and its funding.
Public good
The initiative is one that anyone can access the results of.
Practicality
The initiative (which includes pilot work) is feasible (i.e., providers, solutions and infrastructure are evident and available with few if any barriers; this includes within MBIE’s operating systems).
The timing of the investment in the initiative aligns with the TDLG roadmap, and/or is logical in terms of interdependencies.
Transformational approaches
The initiative will be collaborative, engaging appropriate sector stakeholders. As appropriate Māori and/or iwi/hapū/whānau will be involved in the shaping of the work (e.g., questions and interpretation).
The initiative will adopt innovative approaches to one or more aspects (e.g., data collection, analysis) in order to move towards a fit-for-the-future data system (e.g., digital data), and one that increasingly adopts cultural perspectives and methodologies.
