We value the opportunities, vibrancy, range of activities and tourism brings but the affordability of these offerings often puts them beyond the reach of residents. Indeed, the view that tourism increases all aspects of local cost of living was frequently expressed. The impact on access to healthcare was also a key issue. shapingourfuture.org.nz/carrying-capacity-community-engagement-report/#queenstown #wanaka #carryingcapacity #tourismnz
Many expressed the sentiment that they felt like second class citizens in a system that prioritises tourists. This is reflected in the significant number of comments captured that reflect a desire for actions that would prioritise those who live here and recognise the importance of the local workforce who make a lot of this possible. shapingourfuture.org.nz/carrying-capacity-community-engagement-report/#carryingcapacity #tourismnz #queenstown #wanaka
