Does New Zealand restrict the entry of foreign tourists?

New Zealand is a country full of energy and passion. It is located in the South Pacific, and its geographical position is very conspicuous. It is divided into two islands, north and south. It is also a member of the Commonwealth. It has a highly developed economy, abundant natural resources and adequate environmental protection. This is a good place to travel. It is biased to say that international tourists have been restricted recently.

New Zealand did announce some news about the future development of tourism in New Zealand this year. The Minister of Tourism of New Zealand announced at a tourism seminar that it would "tax" international tourists in the future, and more details about this move will appear in the budget of Sislan in 20 19.

However, after reading the news carefully, I think the original intention of New Zealand is not to restrict international tourists, although if a tourism tax is really imposed, the number of tourists will definitely decrease.

According to the New Zealand Labor Party, the tax of $25 per tourist can raise $75 million a year, but the money will be invested in New Zealand's "Tourism and Environmental Protection Infrastructure Fund" to provide tourists with a "world-class experience".

In fact, New Zealanders are very hospitable, but the number of tourists in New Zealand has increased by more than 3 million in 20 years. With so many tourists coming, New Zealand's tourist facilities are already insufficient, which really can't cope.

Used paper towels, rubbish, etc. It often appears in some famous scenic spots or trees in New Zealand, all of which are left by tourists. This behavior has also aroused the resentment of local people in New Zealand.

Many tourist infrastructures in the new west were built decades ago, and toilets, parking lots and so on in various tourist areas can't cope with the peak of tourists.

It's really not easy to park at New Zealand attractions, and it takes a lot of time. For tourists, the toilet is the most basic, but there are often long queues in the toilets in scenic spots, and tourists are also miserable.

In fact, many things can't be blamed on tourists, and New Zealand's facilities have to keep up, but New Zealand's tourism department is really short of money, and even building a toilet is a major event that needs to be cut.

Judging from the current situation, ordinary New Zealanders certainly hope that the number of tourists can be limited, but the New Zealand government certainly does not want to. After all, New Zealand's economic base is tourism. How can we give up such a promising source of income?

Therefore, the government's intention of collecting taxes is definitely not to restrict tourists, but to take some money from tourists to build their own projects.
