For me, no problem with visitors having an increase when arriving, but do I trust this govt to put the funds where they should go? Sorry ... no 🤬 Without understanding fully all the pros & cons, my instinct is for this entry $ to truly go to Conservation infrastructure and projects, PLUS something like a "bed-tax" for local authorities to support THEIR infrastructure such as sewage & clean drinking water etc. Small amounts on an accommodation stay so that local ratepayers don't shoulder the burden of a national tourism industry.
