Tourism
Sir, —I would like to endorse the remarks of the Rev. R. A. Lowe concerning tourism. In providing for tourists from within New Zealand and overseas is there need to constantly stress international standards of accommodation—a euphemism for luxury facilities and prices? I object to such costly ventures as the proposed sBm A.M.P. hotel complex. Now that the Licensing Control Commission has converted some of the more modest hotels into taverns the ordinary Kiwi and medium-income tourist are being excluded from a hotel system that caters for the select few. The luxuryhotel approach to tourism is as phonev as it is select. It offers a life style completely unrelated to the ordinary New Zealander where the waitress is likely to be an Aussie, the barman an Englishman. and the cook a Continental. —Yours, etc.,
TAURUS. November 28, 1971.
