Referring to Model One above, explain how an increase in the number of tourists in Queenstown would increase growth in New Zealand.
As the tourism industry continues to recover, the industry association Tourism Industry Aotearoa (TIA) has committed to sustainable tourism by 2025. Tourist businesses that sign up to the commitment must pledge to meet economic, environmental, community, and quality standards.
