New Taxes could affect NZ Tourism
NZ tourism industry says new taxes imposed by the UK on long-distance air travel are a serious concern, and will have a big impact on visitor numbers in God’s own.
The taxes are aimed at penalising those people who use the most fossil fuels and will make travel to this part of the world more expensive.
New Zealand second-biggest tourism market after Australia, over 280,000 British holidaymakers generate almost $1 billion a year for the New Zealand economy, many of them screwed over by inflated prices for activities.
But the tourism industry here says new taxes being put on long distance travellers leaving Britain look likely to dramatically cut those numbers.
So the tourist activities people will have to go and screw some other people!
