All members receive a copy of the latest TDB trips database on CD and are provided with new copies as it is updated. This is the largest database of trips information in New Zealand and Australia.

A brief description of the methodology underlying the trips database is included in a presentation to the Database User Guide. Click here to view the Database User Guide.

A Site Survey Summary Sheet suitable for use by any organisation is distributed to all members. This can be downloaded from the members section of the website at any time. The sheet allows standardised information to be collected for all surveys undertaken by member organisations. It has been designed to be relevant for general survey use as well as for the specific requirements of TDB and members are encouraged to submit completed Site Survey Summary Sheets for inclusion in the TDB Database.

A strategic plan has been developed by the Trips Database Bureau (TDB) Board in order to provide a disciplined approach to the management of TDB over the next 10 years.

This Strategic Plan reviews the progress of the Trips Database Bureau since its founding in 2002 and briefly presents a summary of its strengths and weaknesses.  It considers the emerging situation and the changing scene in which TDB operates, to identify the key issues and the options for the future.  Finally, the Plan presents future directions and actions of the Bureau as it enters its second 10 years. A summary version has also been produced for quick reference on objectives and future actions.
