Tourist tax hike for visitors to New Zealand

Starting from October 1st, the International Visitor Conservation and Tourism Levy (IVL) will be increased from NZ$35 (US$22) to NZ$100 (US$62).

According to Tourism Minister Matt Doocey, the levy will go towards funding vital conservation projects and enhance the visitor experience in the country’s national parks and other high-traffic conservation areas. “The new $100 levy represents a modest fraction—less than 3%—of the total spending by international visitors in New Zealand,” he explained. “We believe this adjustment will ensure that tourists contribute fairly to the preservation of our natural wonders and the improvement of public conservation lands.”
