Glyn Lewers: Queenstown Mayor on the Government's ambitions to attract more tourists
One of our largest hotspots backs efforts to bring in more visitors – on one condition. Economic Growth Minister Nicola Willis is hoping to attract more tourists, with potential visa changes on the cards. It's as international visitor arrivals remain at 86% of pre-pandemic figures.
