Tourism
Sir,—Japanese travel agents have disagreed with the comments by the Minister of Tourism, Mr Talbot, about the value of casinos in promoting New Zealand (“The Press,” June 22). Mr Talbot also said that people who disagree with casinos would have objected to the motor-car. I must confess that I would have. It is a great pity that all inventions did not stop with the steam engine. I now find to my astonishment that we have a Minister of Tourism who objects to aeroplanes. More flights are needed, according to the Japanese. Our Government will not allow additional flights. What we need to promote tourism in the South Island is landing rights in Christchurch for all foreign airlines serving Auckland. Additionally, we could handle at least three charter flights a day, particularly from Europe and America. Cheap fares would promote tourism, not casinos.—Yours, etc., RAY SPRING. June 24, 1983.
