Great Improvement Seen in Dominion SCOTTISH .VISITORS VIEWS
(From
CHRISTCHURCH, Last Night. "A great improvement in the Govjrnment tourist services and in general biotel services in the last two years has been noticed by a tourist, Mr. A. M. Shaw, of Glasgow,' who has returned to the Dominion for a second tour because of the favourable impressions created when he visited New Zealand in 1935. Mr. Shaw, who is visiting Christchurch, was reluctant to comment on the changes; but he did not support claims made by a number of tourists that officials in the North Island were prejudiced against the South Island. "There is a definite change there," he added. "People in the north still say: ' Oh w? never think of going to the South Island,' but as far as the Government Tourist Bureau is concerned, officials openly say that it is worth coming to the south. There is no doubt that the South Island is much better advertised now than it was two years ago. ' ' Mr. Shaw said his own opinion was that the south was definitely worth visiting, for there was no question that the scenery of the south far surpassed that of the north.
