Freedom camping in vehicles that are not self-contained will be forbidden in a bid to market New Zealand to super wealthy overseas tourists.

Speaking on Radio NZ's Morning Report, Tourism Minister Stuart Nash said he planned to introduce regulations that ban the leasing or hiring out of vans that do not contain toilets to tourists.

“Gone are the days, as far as I am concerned, where you hire a cheap van that is not self-contained,” he said.

“We get all these vans driving around at the moment that are not self-contained, so if the driver or the passenger wants to go to the toilet – we all know examples of this – they pull over to the side of the road, and they s... in our waterways.”
