TOURIST TRAFFIC
AMERICAN PROSPECTS BIG DEVELOPMENT EXPECTED VISITORS WELL PLEASED (Per United Press Association) WELLINGTON, Dec. 26. There is ho immediate prospect of the Matson Line vessels including Wellington in their schedule, according to Mr H. N. Thomas, passenger traffic manager of the line at San Francisco, who arrived in Wellington by the Awatea to-day. Mr Thomas said New Zealand and Australia could look to the United States for the greatest growth in their tourist traffic. There had been a remarkable development already, and he believed that a more rapid increase could be expected in the next few years.
The New Zealand Government's Tourist Bureau in the United States was doing fine work, Mr Thomas said, and was highly thought of. The bureau's advertising was well handled. Though somewhat limited, it was of good quality. He had met many tourists who had returned from NeV Zealand, but not one who had not been pleased with the country.
