Department’s Concern For Bookings
i New Zealana Press Association) DUNEDIN. June 21.
The loss of the White Star Hotel at Queenstown was a “grim one" for his department, the Dunedin manager of the Tourist Department (Mr R. G. Sincock) said on Friday after the hotel had been badly damaged by fire. He had 700 people already booked into it from ■ coach tours alone for the peak tourist months this summer, he said. The figures took neither account of other bookings nor for the itinerant traveller requiring accommodation during the period from late November until March Some additional accommodation had been made available in Queenstown in recent years. Mr I Sincock said, but it was insufficient 1 to meet the type of crisis caused . by the loss of the White Star.
