CRUISING LINERS
BENEFIT TO NEW ZEALAND It is estimated that the 4500 passengers who visited New Zealand in " cruise " ships left £33,000 behind in the North Island. These figures have been supplied by an officer of the Government Tourist Department. Travel, accommodation and sightseeing accounted for £15,000, miscellaneous purchases at approximately £3 a head for £13,000, and port dues and other shipping charges amounted to £SOOO. "These items," he said, "can more or less bo directly traced as expenditure, and, apart from these, there would be a considerable sum expended of which no reliable record can be given."
