OLYMPIC GAMES VISITORS
ARRANGEMENTS FOR TOURS OF N.Z.
(New Zealand Press Association)
WELLINGTON, August 30. The Minister in charge of Tourist and Health Resorts (Mr E. H. Halstead) today disagreed with Mr W. J. Mullahey, a regional director of Pan American Airways, who said in Auckland yesterday that New Zealand seemed to have made no effort to attract tourists who will visit the Olympic Games in Melbourne. “Arrangements have been going forward for some time,” said Mr Halstead. The New Zealand tourist authorities thought it preferable that these tourists should, as far as possible, visit New Zealand first, thus avoiding the peak of the New Zealand summer tourist traffic. “Package” tours of the South Pacific had been arranged by New Zealand, Australia, and Fiji and had been featured in tourist publicity in North America for some months past, he said.
