TOURING S.I.
20 Tourist Officers
A Tourist Department “school on wheels” for junior tourist bureau officers left Christchurch yesterday for a familiarisation and training tour of the South Island. It is led by Mr R. G. Sincock, Dimedin district manager of the Government Tourist Bureau.
Twenty officers from throughout New Zealand are undertaking the 15-day tour of the South Island’s tourist attractions, including Christchurch, Greymouth, Franz Josef and Fox Glaciers, Wanaka, Queenstown, Te Anau, Milford, Manapouri, Invercargill, Dunedin, Benmore, and Mount Cook. With the co-operation of hotel and tourist transport interests, the tour will take the form of a mobile “pressure - cooker” course for the junior officers who are to eventually fill middle and senior positions.
Most of the officers deal with the travelling public in their present appointments, or will be during the coming tourist season. A similar North Island tour is planned for after the August holidays.
