New Zealand to charge foreign tourists to visit four of its most famous natural attractions

The measure aims to generate revenue for conservation while boosting employment opportunities.

New Zealand is planning to introduce entry fees for foreign tourists at four of its most popular natural attractions.

The measure aims to generate funding for conservation projects while boosting employment opportunities.

Under the proposed scheme, foreign visitors will be required to pay between NZ$20 (€10) and NZ$40 (€20) to access some natural landmarks.

The initiative, announced by Prime Minister Christopher Luxon alongside Potaka, forms part of a wider economic plan to boost employment opportunities and increase wages. (Euronews)
