Government Policy Statement on Land Transport

Feedback to the GPS Policy Team, Ministry of Transport - 5 April 2017

While TIA is pleased with the recognition of the importance of tourism in the GPS, there is little detail that demonstrates whether the NZTA fully understands the impact of the tourism industry on New Zealand’s land transport and the land transport requirements of the tourism industry. One of our concerns is that the GPS does not map over into tourism–specific actions.
