Poll: Too many tourists?
Hi neighbours, in a recent Stuff opinion article Lorna Thornber reveals we have been dropped from Lonely Planet's top countries list.
However, with a record-breaking 3.7 million international visitors visiting our shores in the 12 months ending October 2017, one in five Kiwis feels the country already attracts too many tourists.
Thornber argues we don't need the likes of Lonely Planet directing more people to our shores. Or want it.
What do you think? Does New Zealand attract so many tourists that it spoils it for the rest of us?
-
38.9% Yep, there are way too many tourists.
-
27.8% It's nice the way it is, no more, no less.
-
33.3% No, we need more tourists they're great for the economy.

Are you for, or against?
-
9.2% For. Self-service is less frustrating and convenient.
-
43.7% I want to be able to choose.
-
47.1% Against. I want to deal with people.
