UNESCO

New leadership, refurbishments, and tourism opportunities are being scoped for the Waitaki attraction’s prestigious designation.

Tourism is expected to be one of the big beneficiaries of Waitaki Whitestone Geopark’s new UNESCO Global Geopark designation.

The Waitaki Whitestone Geopark is calling for volunteers to assist with its ongoing development, as it awaits UNESCO’s decision on whether it will become a UNESCO Global Geopark.

Tourism Industry Aotearoa is enthusiastically supporting Waitaki District Council’s proposal to seek UNESCO recognition for its heritage buildings and unique geological treasures.
