Street view: should tourists to New Zealand be charged a 'visitor's tax' at the airport?

Theresa Te Kiri

No, because I wouldn't want to be charged when going to their countries.

Fabian Waenga

Yes because they get access to our facilities, such as roads and toilets. The money will help towards their upkeep.

Greg Johnson

I guess so. There are too many tourists so the tax might defer them.

No, because they spend enough enough money when they are here so there is no need for additional spending.

I don't think so as it would be sending a message to tourists they are not welcome, when they are welcome.
