MOUNT COOK. + A VISITOR'S IMPKESSIONS. "Von liu-? a rery bn« liou-l al Moant Cook.' mm! Mr G. T. Artnitage, secretary of the Hawatyi Tonrist Bureau, in an intrrriew yesterday. "I: *m a very wonderful feeling after winding round in the ear suddenly to »c« the Hermitage and to be taken to a nice room with a beautiful view and hot and edd water running. That is what travellers want, but they often don't get it. even in the eitie-*!" The lamest islacier in the world impressed Mr Anuitagc greatly. Although 1 mist obscured the view, he *aid. walking on the glacier wa* a great expanenrv, and he could acarcelv find adj.: f -tires to describe the BochaieUer irel'all. When he was asked what was the matter with New Zealand from a tourist point of \iew, Mr Armitage said: -Well, the chief thing seems to rnc to be that though New Zealand is a very iJeljghtt'ul place, other places in ■ more »eutra! position and with a little more money to spend in advertising are (-.tpitalising their advantage." He said that o'ir hotels were quite good on the whole but that our organisations all seemed to He concentrating on looking afwr tourists who were con.ing along anyway. Tnero was no one going out to catch new limines-t. Tnlike the New Zealand Corcroruotit T»'i-:«t Bnreau. t!;e Tlawaiin Tourist Bureau has as its do'v the increase in the touri.il "trattic. Thev neither book tourists | nor \of.k after travellers. They pnt j Jlawaii <>n the nup as the only pi :ce for a fco f '..sy ami leave the rest to travel agen-i <. A pamphlet recently sent to all travel bureaux gave a de- | wrtptiou of Hawaii and ended: t "We've started the ball rollirTg—3»"i inrlhori national adrertisements tin> tourist to sc« you." Naturally, ' it pays the agencies to have up-to-! I uz.tr :nforiMlion and an efficient or- I i pinisation for the handling of tonr--1 wlcn thev have that support be- | 1,,n,l U..-U. j In Mr Amttaj:e-» opinion, thn coontrv cannot exaggerate the beauties which it has to'offer, and it neel neter f«»r that visitors will be disappointed.
