High praise for the Tourist and Publicity Department is given in a letter received by the department from Mr T. M. Wilson, American Consul-Gen-eral in Sydney, who recently made a tour .of the Dominion. The letter says: "Again let me express my thanks to every member of your far-flung staff for the manner and efficiency in which my tour of both the North and South Islands has been handled. I have experienced efficiency, helpfulness, and the most welcome courtesy everywhere I have gone. No hotel, even the smallest and most out of the way, has overlooked an opportunity to be helpful and to do what it could to add to my comfort. Aside from all that, your planning of my trip has shown imagination and has pleased me,much.” Mr Wilson’s tour included visits to Milford Sound and the glaciers by aeroplane and was otherwise thoroughly comprehensive.
