NEW ZEALAND adventure tourism operators will have to pass a new safety audit.
Stung by accusations of lax standards after a number of incidents involving foreign tourists, Labour Minister Simon Bridges has released a new safety audit standard which adventure tourism operators need to pass before they can be registered.
"It sets out the requirements operators must comply with to reduce risks in providing adventure activities," Mr Bridges said on Thursday.
"There will always be a level of risk with these types of activities, but commercial operators must take all practicable steps to operate safely."
Operators will be re-audited every three years, and it will be an offence to offer any adventure activities as defined by the regulations without being registered.
