Kiwis love tourism ... it brings in cash and connection. But with more visitors comes more pressure on our beautiful places, housing, and local infrastructure.
So whatโs the fix? Should we bring in a tourism tax or focus on spreading visitors beyond the hotspots to ease the load? ๐

Mฤkereti Papakura, believed to be the first Indigenous woman to study at the University of Oxford, has been awarded a posthumous degree certificate.
Papakura sadly passed away in 1930, just weeks before she was due to present her thesis. Her research was later published as The Old-Time Mฤori โ the first ethnographic study written by a Mฤori author.
We hope this brings a smile!
