PAGEANTRY IN 1940
Value As Attraction To Tourists “In publicizing the New Zealand Centennial Exhibition, mention has been made of the prospect of spectacular pageantry, for which the Dominion’s history offers plenty of scope,” writes the Minister of Internal Affairs, Mr. Barry, in the “New Zealand Centennial News.” “It is recognized that the exhibition alone, excellent as it promises to be, may not be sullicient to induce large numbers of people to make journeys of thousands of miles. Therefore in publicity- this great enterprise has been linked witli the world-famed scenic assets of New Zealand and with the centennial celebrations of various districts, so that prospective visitors have the assurance of very interesting itineraries, in addition to the exhibition. “Obviously, any district which offers Lite certainty of good pageantry and other celebrations worthy of the centennial can look forward with confluence to visits of numerous New Zealanders as well as folk from overseas. Even the element of self-interest should induce the districts to show their history in dramatic pageantry. For this purpose the advice of the department’s director of pageantry is readily available.”
