sorry, but that is bullshit i have been here 5 years, and seen more of NZ than most kiwis do in their lifetime. it is scary how many of my kiwi friends have not even been down to fiordland etc. all of it extremely cheap, because we stay in national parks, tramp, camp, fish and do road trips. don't know what "tourism spots" you refer to.

maybe if you want to go stay in flash hotels and do all the adventure tourism rides etc...

and back to the idea of costs for locals vs non-locals. is it actually free for locals to hunt in africa, usa, england etc. how much does it cost in real money terms, how many big macs $ for a license/permit compared to non-local ? or are some of you just assuming that because it is free here, it has to be free for locals elsewhere ?
