Nz Trebles Tourism Levy

Iata has criticised the New Zealand government for sharply increasing its International Visitor Conservation and Tourism Levy IVL.

This news comes hard on the heels of the government recently announcing that it would increase its tourist visa by 60.

The IVL is currently NZ35 R385, but it will rise to NZ100 R1100 in October, reports Travel Weekly .

It has been a double whammy for the New Zealand travel and tourism sector, starting with New Zealand Immigration announcing steep increases in visa fees, and now the increase in the IVL, says Xie Xingquan , Iata Interim Regional VP for North Asia and Asia-Pacific.

These changes make travel to New Zealand more expensive and less attractive and could further delay the recovery in visitor numbers to beyond 2026.
