Hamish Saxton
Master of Ceremonies Wednesday
Hamish Saxton is the CEO of Hawke’s Bay Tourism. A job at the Dunedin Visitor Centre to assist with paying tuition fees for University of Otago courses (that ended up as a BA major in Anthropology) led to a career in tourism.
Hamish has worked for wholesale travel companies (Mount Cook Line, TravelMarvel/NZTP), led two other regional tourism organisations (Wānaka, and Dunedin), had marketing management roles (Southern Encounter Aquarium of Discovery, Canterbury Museum), run his own tourism businesses (TalkWalk Toronto, The Settlers Dunedin, Hamish Saxton Consulting) and consulted to a variety of tourism businesses (Dunedin Airport Ltd, Destination Queenstown, Fleurs Place, Bella Vista Accommodation Network).
He is a trustee of RTNZ and the New Zealand Gardens Trust. As time allows, his interests include tourism, architecture, art, trees, cooking (seems to be collecting cook books right now) and eating (no particular order). He owns a rumpty 1860s crib (retirement plan) on The Pigroot, set in two acres that are becoming increasingly “manageable”.
