Poll: Yay or nay to tourist fees? ๐ŸŒ๐Ÿ’ฐ

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Kiwis love tourism ... it brings in cash and connection. But with more visitors comes more pressure on our beautiful places, housing, and local infrastructure.

So whatโ€™s the fix? Should we bring in a tourism tax or focus on spreading visitors beyond the hotspots to ease the load? ๐Ÿ‘‡

Interested in what kiwis have to say? Andrea Vance shares some opinions in the Post.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, thereโ€™s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need ๐Ÿช™๐Ÿ’ฐ๐Ÿช™

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship โ€” like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
