New Zealand’s tourism minister has again expressed his aversion to budget travellers, saying the country will not seek to attract those who “travel around our country on $10 a day eating two-minute noodles”.
Stuart Nash said the country would unashamedly continue to focus on “high quality” big spenders, despite one expert saying such visitors typically had a much higher environmental footprint and didn’t necessarily contribute more to the economy.
Those who promote diversity, equity and inclusion do not actually believe in it, themselves as they seek to limit travel for others:
In 2020, Nash said the country would “unashamedly” target the super wealthy, and seek to attract the kind of tourist who “flies business class or premium economy, hires a helicopter, does a tour round Franz Josef and then eats at a high-end restaurant”
Unfortunately, many of those who have already traveled the world extensively now seek to curtail travel by everyone else. They have benefited from international exposure and learned to think globally – now that they have established their bona fides as globalists, they seek to put an end to others catching up.
