ADVERTISING N.Z.
A suggestion that tourist agents of New Zealand should be posted in the principal ports of the United States from which tourists sailed so that information should be readily available to them, was made at a meeting of the Napier Rotarv Club by Mr. Lockie. who recently returned to New Zealand from the United States. Mr. Lockie commented that it was surprising how many people in the United States of America did not know where New Zealand was. .Many thought that it was in South America. The only way this could be overcome was by advertising New Zealand. The Government, of course, already did a great deal of this. lie had heard travellers to New Zealand say that, they !md not. soon much farming country here. The trouble probably was that they were directed to Waitomo, Taupo, and the outstanding beauty spots. Agents .nt the principal ports of departure might overcome this by being able to supply full information about Now Zealand to travellers.
