Tourists from Australia
Sip,—We could attract more Australians if tourist Biters forgot about . Tourists need to eat three times a day in different places, but they want a bed only once a day in one place. Restaurants are more necessary than hotels. Upgraded camping grounds with their own restaurants, as at Te Anau, are needed. Cabins need to be a bit cleaner and toilet blocks could be improved with cleansers provided for cleaning hand basins. Package tours could be run in small bus-loads, taking the bus company’s own linen on from one camping ground to the next Bus companies could renew their linen each two or three days as the buses called into the towns. Motel £ours could be offered, too, but combined with reasonably priced eating-houses close by. If our Queen’s Birthday week-ends were synchronised with Australia’s we could run winter sports trips, but we need more artificial and natural ice
rinks, as at Alexandra.— Yours, etc., MOVE. November 6, 1970.
