The New Zealand Institute of Travel and Tourism Inc. recognises that the wellbeing of New Zealand society is dependent on the economic success of its private and public organisations and the acceptance of community and environmental responsibilities.

This can only be achieved through the high standards of performance, integrity, ethical and moral behaviour of members within such organisations.

NZITT membership is, therefore, dependent on the acceptance by each member of a Code of Ethics that requires these high standards to be met.

This Code of Ethics sets out the responsibilities that all members have to stakeholders of their organisations, the community and their own development.
