Visitor Industry Welcomes Holidays Amendment BillA proposed law to ‘Mondayise' Waitangi Days and Anzac Days when they fall on weekends will stimulate domestic tourism, the Tourism Industry Association New Zealand (TIA) says. “In the current tight economic environment, everyone needs a holiday, but it's getting harder to take time off work,” says TIA Policy & Research Manager Simon Wallace. “More long weekends that give Kiwis a chance for short breaks is the ideal solution. It would also encourage regions to hold more events, which are also a great way of attracting visitors.” TIA will lobby all political parties to support Dunedin North MP David Clark's Bill during its progress through Parliament. |
