The opinion that there would be a considerable influx of tourists from America to New Zealand during next summer was expressed to an Otago Daily Times reporter by Mr. N. S. Walker, Dominion representative of the Oceanic Steamship Co., Ltd., who has just concluded a brief visit to the south for the purpose of exploring its possibilities from the tourists’ point of view. Mr. Walker said that the American tourist class was tend--1 ing more and more to favour the Pacific resorts, Europe, with its varying and confusing languages and currencies, having proved less suitable to the requirements of those wishing to travel. There was every justification that, in a few years, a tourist traffic of similar nature to that attracted by 1 Hawaii would be built up in the Dominion. “New Zealand,” said Mr. Walker, “has ready for the American tourist all the attractions which he wants from fishing and game shooting to alpine and scenic beauty.”
