WELLINGTON: Wellington– Taxes collected from tourist should flow to regions which attracted the tourists to New Zealand, says tourism group.
n a press release on December 4th the advocacy group Regional Tourism NZ called for “a coordinated national discussion on tourism tax”.
The newly elected Labour government in New Zealand has previously campaigned on the promise of a NZD 25 tourist tax to be paid by each international visitor coming to the country.
However, despite the campaign promises, there have not yet been any confirmed details of how the tax will work, and whether the proposed rate will be maintained.
