U.S. TOURISTS WILL VISIT N.Z. IN SCORES SOON, AMERICANS HERE SAY.
That. New Zealand is going to be besieged by tourists from America in the very near future was the opinion expressed by one of the party of Americans who arrived in Christchurch last evening. “I’ll tell you why,” he said. “They’ve nowhere else to g 0.,. Now, that isn’t intended as a slight on New Zealand, for the fellow’ who won’t admit that this country is one of the most beautiful in the wofld—well, there’s something the matter with his eyesight. But it’s true that the tourist is now beginning to look to new fields. He’s done Europe and the Continent, and he's beginning to go farther afield. “Your country has great natural charms,” he said, “and you should certainly make the most of them. Don’t be so quiet about things. Boost New Zealand; let other people know what a grand country you’ve got. “And I’m going to help you do the boosting.” said another member of the party. “I’ve travelled the world now, and I’ve seen all there is to see, but I’ve never seen anything betcr than is offered by New Zealand. That Pelorous Sound—my, it’s gorgeous. And the scenery on the West Coast baffles description. My advice is—boost, boost, boost.”
