A clear direction for councils on tourism

Finally some actual planning instead of just 'let the tourists sort themselves out'. Good on Tania for pushing this.

Aria Wilson2026-07-13T18:13:23.000Z

as if another report is gonna change anything lmao. Council just loves spending money on consultants instead of fixing roads

Aria Wilson2026-07-13T18:51:23.000Z

yeah nah, more rules = less tourism = shops close. Simple economics.

Rotorua has been a mess for years. Tour buses clogging up everything, no parking, rates going through the roof. Hope this actually does something.

Kai Thompson2026-07-13T18:39:23.000Z

bloody typical, more bureaucracy. Just let the free market sort it out, councils need to stay out of it.

Ben Sullivan2026-07-13T18:48:23.000Z

Can someone summarise what the actual plan is? I read the article but it's all fluff.

Jack Morrison2026-07-13T19:02:23.000Z

Worked in tourism for 10 years. The councils have zero clue. They just want to cash in on the kiwis visiting but won't invest in infrastructure. Joke.

Jack Morrison2026-07-13T19:40:23.000Z

stuffed. I've cleaned up after drunk tourists at 6am, you have no idea.

Sophie Ngata2026-07-13T19:19:23.000Z

Aria, give it a rest. At least they're trying something new instead of just complaining on facebook like you.

Kai Thompson2026-07-13T19:30:23.000Z

lol mate you don't even live here. Queenstown is fine if you're not a sook.

Mia Carter2026-07-13T19:36:23.000Z

ffs Kai, 'free market'? Have you seen Queenstown? It's a dystopian hellhole of overpriced crap because there's zero regulation.

Mia Carter2026-07-13T20:29:23.000Z

facts. The council needs to actually enforce things, not just table reports.
