Remote rural areas have encountered significant change and the need for renegotiation of economic and social priorities in the late 20th and early 21st century. In our broader research, we ask how have such communities been responding to this change? What role have different organisations and agencies played? And, how have they acted on the aspirations of marginalised communities? In this paper we examine these issues through a case study of Westland District on the west coast of Aotearoa New Zealand's South Island. We probe the general shift towards prioritising tourism in the District, and highlight particular experiences in regard to Indigenous endeavour in tourism. We find that those engaged in leading local development and tourism have not collaborated strategically across the sector and have not established meaningful partnerships with the community that recognise both economic and socio‐cultural aspirations.

偏远地区的农村变革和旅游业：新西兰奥特罗阿州Te Tai o Poutini，Westland的事态发展和土著努力

在20世纪末和21世纪初，边远的农村地区发生了重大变化，需要重新谈判经济和社会优先事项。在我们更广泛的研究中，我们问这些社区如何应对这一变化？不同的组织和机构扮演了什么角色？而且，他们如何应对边缘化社区的愿望？在本文中，我们通过对新西兰Aotearoa南岛西海岸的西部地区的案例研究来研究这些问题。我们探讨了该地区朝着优先考虑旅游业的总体转变，并着重介绍了土著居民在旅游业方面的特殊经验。
