TOURISTS’ BUS TRIPS
Complaint From Rangiora Bus tour arrangements made for passengers on tourist cruise ships call- ’ .
ing at Lyttelton were criticised at a meeting of the Rangiora Businessmen’s Association. The president (Mr A. G. Moore) was appointed to discuss the matter with, the public relations officer (Mr E. G. Beckett) with a view to having Rangiora made an official stopping place when the tourists are making the “round the gorges” trip. On some of the bus trips provided for the tourists it was said that only one stop had been listed on itineraries occupying several hours. Stops had not been made at shopping centres, yet one of the advantages claimed fjr tourism was that extra money would be brought into the country. One of the buses on a recent trip had stopped at Rangiora simply because the passengers had almost begged the driver to stop in a centre where they could do some shopping, the meeting was told.
