Budget 2010: More Tourism Funding to Help Grow Our Economy

We know investing in tourism is worthwhile. The tourism industry has huge potential, and will play an important role in helping to grow our economy.

That's why the National-led Government is boosting tourism funding by $30 million for the next year. Most of the extra funding will be used to better market New Zealand as a tourist destination internationally.

We already have outstanding scenery, a unique culture, delicious food and wine, and a world-class tourism industry. Now we have more funding to sell that message around the world, and encourage more tourists to visit New Zealand.
