What is the Golden Bay Promotion Association?

We are a non-profit organisation run by a membership committee.
Our membership of around 130 is made up of both local businesses and private individuals around Golden Bay.
Our Vision is to get Golden Bay known nationally and internationally as a top quality, year-round visitor destination that offers a unique combination of memorable experiences.

The Product Bank is a list kept by the Golden Bay Promotion Association of member establishments who are willing to donate an aspect of their service/product for the promotion of Golden Bay.

Examples of the products/ services may include, but are not limited to: a B&B operator who is willing to donate one off-season night per year, a tour operator offering a free tour for 2 persons, a restaurant offering a meal for two persons, or a business offering products for a gift pack.

We collect personal information from you in order to keep you informed about events and happenings in Golden Bay. Your information is held in strict confidence and not disclosed to any third party. Providing some information is optional.

The Rata Foundation has kindly granted funds to the Golden Bay Promotions Association to help towards the running costs of operating our Visitor Centre.

Without grants like this we would be unable to have a base from which we can inform visitors to Golden Bay all the wonderful and unique secrets the we have to offer.

Golden Bay Promotions Association would like to thank The Tasman District Council for their Grant of funds, which enabled us to purchase a door counter.

This now helps us monitor visitor numbers into our Visitor Centre.
