TOURISTS NEEDED
EXAMPLE SET BY SWISS VISITOR’S OPINION Press Association WELLINGTON, Today. Recent references to Switzerland and tourist traffic were commented upon by Dr. Leon Bossard, Swiss geologist visiting the Dominion. Switzerland, he said, is essentially an industrial and agricultural country, and the percentage of people directly dependent on the tourist traffic did not exceed five per cent. It was a good example to illustrate that a country could welcome and be courteous to tourists without losing its independence or national characteristics.. The times were over, he said, when nations could shut themselves off and thrive, and the sooner New Zealand realised that, the sooner it would grow to be the prosperous and generally important country every true New Zealander sincerely wished it to become.
