Understanding of the characteristics and dynamics of the population permanently resident in Tasman municipality has to recognise that the area receives numerically large influxes of both recreational and tourist groups. Census data suggest that the economy of the peninsula is undergoing a major shift from one reliant on traditional primary industries to one focused on tourism. At the same time, the amenities of the natural landscape have prompted a substantial in-migration of non-conventional lifestylers.
