Recreation management
Introduction
DOC is encouraging more people to participate in outdoor recreation and protecting and bringing to life our historic heritage.
Heritage and Visitor Strategy
DOC’s Heritage and Visitor Strategy guides our work to sustainably manage visitors to protect and enhance the values of New Zealand’s natural, cultural and historic heritage.
Visitor research and data
DOC monitors and records visitor activity across key sites around the country and through its online booking system.
Visitor risk management
DOC uses a range of tools to assess and manage risk at visitor destinations. These can help people make decisions about the risks they’re willing to take in the outdoors.
