The National Party’s unveiled a bold new plan to fund councils through smarter use of the International Visitor Levy, ditching the controversial bed tax. Starting July 2027, $385 million over four years will flow to local governments based on tourist numbers, with $100M for DOC and $50M for tourism growth — all while keeping the levy flat for three years. This move offers communities hosting visitors the tools to manage impact and grow sustainably, without burdening Kiwis traveling domestically.
