Coalition Against Travel TaxesNew Zealand's major tourism organisations have formed the Coalition Against Travel Taxes (CATT) to fight any proposal to tax travellers to fund a new or redeveloped stadium in Auckland. Every member of the Coalition fully supports the Rugby World Cup 2011 and looks forward to it being a huge success. But the Coalition opposes taxing travellers, many of whom will not benefit from a stadium. CATT says if the stadium is a national asset, like Te Papa, it should be nationally funded. Government says nothing decided on stadium funding Tourism industry unites in opposition to Auckland traveller taxes Stadium welcomed but traveller taxes are unfair, poorly targetted and bad for the Auckland economy |
