Manaakitanga is a term that contains many layers of meaning. Loosely translated as hospitality, ‘manaakitanga’ plays a key role in Te Ao Māori and inspires the New Zealand visitor experience. For Māori, being hospitable, caring for others and looking after their visitors is paramount.
Manaakitanga is a time-honoured practice which encompasses reciprocal hospitality and respect from one individual to another and showing respect between different people, groups and cultures.
