The Cave was last month visited by the Tararua Tourism Networking Group.
The aim of the group is to keep tourism operators updated and to provide opportunities to share information.
The group has regular meetings and visits in order to build relationships.
Fantasy Cave Board chairman Grant Hurrell outlined the changes that had taken place over the governance of The Cave with the formation of a board and changes to the way The Cave was being promoted via Facebook, with a promotional video and the setting up of an 0800 number.
Tararua District Council economic development and communications manager Mark Maxwell said this was the first time some Tararua Tourism members had visited The Cave.
"You can now tell people all about it. We are Tararua District and we need to tell people who we are."
He said the council had approved new signs for the district and these would be revealed soon and a visitor guide had been produced.
He said there were many ways that visitor tourism operators could work together.
