Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!

Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So, how’s it going?

Yes, that matches what I've seen as well. My take on it is that the "higher value tourism" idea is pretty notional - it's a great idea but there's not a lot of strategy behind it...yet?

You're right. I think the move is simply a response to the public getting fed up with freedom campers and the like leaving a mess everywhere because of the high volumes.

Then they say let's move to lower volume, higher spending tourists and everyone is for it, even if there isn't an actual plan.
