NZs Tourism Bubble of 2016 - Radio New Zealand

Posted 11th January 2016 to RNZ National



 After hearing the Comments of an Achedemic on the State of the overcrowding of our Tourism Facilities
I have this to say on the Comments on your show:

We people in the Industry don’t wish our Image to be tarnished but
More and More Planes are allowed to Bring Tourists Here at cut rates without any thought as to where they can stay.

For example on the Milford Road one small campsite at Lake Gunn had 500 people in it a few nights ago. At a time when most Kiwis wish to use their National Parks
They are squashed out!



This summer has shown us what happens when we have an inept Minister of Tourism at the Helm
As the newspaper stories about Milford Sound Tourism numbers show ...

NZ Could be a nice quality destination product but  if we are going to have a procession of crazy booms & busts
no one can seriously invest in the Tourism Industry or work in it for any kind of lifestyle.

 Now that the World wants to take action on frivolous burning of carbon  it looks like this Crazy Rollercoaster is going to run out of steam
In the end anyway.

Maybe, with any luck, dedicated longer term tourism will return if we don’t damage our image of being a greedy tacky over crowded, over priced boom & Bust
sort of destination .
