If we act now, we have‘ the chance to Tourism needs to be more transition the industry to one that is less environmentally harmful . . . ’ sustainable in NZ: Upton — Simon Upton by Tess Brunton, RNZ

WELLINGTON — A departure tax, enforcing visitor limits in under pressure destinations and tighter controls on commercial operators have been flagged as part of an overhaul of the tourism industry. It follows a 2019 report from the Parliamentary Commissioner for the Environment that found that tourism is less environmentally benign than it has often been made out to be. Yesterday, Commissioner for the Environment, Simon Upton, released four proposals to help the industry to become more sustainable and urged the Government to take advantage of the pause in international tourism.
