Manaakitanga (care) relates to sharing, hosting and being generous. It supports collaboration, helps knowledge flow both ways and involves reciprocity of kindness, respect, humility, and hospitality. Not only does it underpin behaviour that acknowledges the mana of others as being equal or greater than one’s own but also highlights the importance of caring for the environment.

Overall it refers to the relationship between host and visitor—or, in a business context, the relationship between business provider and customer. It involves being a responsible host/provider, caring for others, making people feel at home, treating others with respect and caring for the environment.
