1. Executive summary
The culture of Maori was studied upon visitation to Te Papa Museum in New Zealand. The
concepts and principles of the people and the impact it had on the National cuisine was observed
and also the culture of hospitality is distinct from the rest.
Every person has the right to share the duty of safeguarding resources and freedom to express
their opinions as provided by the Treaty of Waitangi. It has a significant effect on Marae
concepts and the growth of hospitality. Hosts and visitors have a strong interaction very well like
a family. The people's beliefs and values influence the national cuisine that accommodates the
borrowed and the native features. In conclusion, the Maori culture of hospitality is affected by
Marae concepts and the treaty. The national cuisine food originates from traditional beliefs and
practices.
2. Introduction
The people of Maori are famously known their appreciation and friendly nature of creating
relations with people. Their goal is to ensure visitors experience comfort as they give guests
attention, an essential element of providing a good experience. This culture can be used in
hospitality industries to boost quality services (Awataha Marae, 2006).
This paper focuses on the visit of Te Papa Museum OF New Zealand where the researchers had
an opportunity to study about the Maori culture and explored the indigenous plant species. It
will also focus on aspects of hospitality on the Marae, the impact of the treaty on generosity, the
development of the national cuisine and the distinction between other cultures and the Maori.
