Government will allocate an extra $158 million over four years
to Tourism in the Budget tomorrow.
Hinerangi Goodman spoke with Doug Tamaki
of Tamaki Tours in Rotorua.
Doug Tamaki says it's no surprise
the Prime Minister has plans to boost NZ tourism.
The Tamaki family have been in the tourism business
for the last 24 years, mostly here in Rotorua.
But in that time, there have been many ups and downs,
but due to sheer determination to get on top of it all,
today, they are flourishing.
The reasons as to why so many small Maori businesses
and others have gone under,
have been because of obstacles such as the Resource Management Act.
During the next five years,
plans are in progress to expand Tamaki Tours.
Hinerangi Goodman, Te Karere.
