Proposed tourist levies

The Green Party has proposed a new plan to introduce a tourist levy to protect our environment.

The levy of $14 to $18 would be paid by all international visitors coming into the country, and the proceeds would go towards Predator-Free New Zealand and the regional tourism facilities fund.

Green Party co-leader James Shaw spoke to Paul Henry this morning.
