New Zealand to nearly triple tax on international tourists

New Zealand to nearly triple tax on international tourists

Al Jazeera
Tuesday, September 3, 2024 5:16 AM GMT

Peak tourism body says hike will make South Pacific country ‘incredibly expensive’ to visit.

New Zealand has announced plans to nearly triple a tax on international tourists, prompting backlash from the country’s tourism industry.

New Zealand’s National Party-led coalition government said on Tuesday that it would raise the so-called International Visitor Conservation and Tourism Levy (IVL) from 35 New Zealand dollars ($22) to 100 New Zealand dollars ($62) from October 1.

Tourism Minister Matt Doocey said the hike would allow the country to grow its tourism industry while ensuring visitors contribute to “high-value conservation areas and projects, such as supporting biodiversity in national parks and other highly visited areas and improving visitor experiences on public conservation land.”

“A $100 IVL would generally make up less than 3 per cent of the total spending for an international visitor while in New Zealand, meaning it is unlikely to have a significant impact on visitor numbers,” Doocey said.

Tourism Industry Aotearoa, the peak body for New Zealand’s tourism sector, said the increase would make the country “incredibly expensive” to visit.
