Poll: Do you think Hamilton's becoming a tourist destination?
City officials believe Hamilton has come of age as a standalone tourist destination, with attractions that have the potential to bring in more cash and ease the fiscal burden on ratepayers.
It’s been just over a month since Hamilton Gardens started charging visitors and plans are afoot at Hamilton Zoo to be more visitor friendly, despite figures showing visitation has already increased by 65% over the past four years.

From rugged campsite to 7.5ha resort
Grant Kilby has always loved camping. His mum was director of health at the YMCA, and he would attend YMCA camps in the school holidays. “I think it was mandatory that I was there,” he jokes.
He went on camping holidays with his parents, and later, took his own kids.
“Camping’s been in my blood.”
