We heard a clear expectation that ‘decision makers’ can and should act to manage the impacts of tourism. Many examples of how this could be done were captured ranging from planning policy to taxes and tolls. As expected there was strong support for tourist taxes to pay for the cost of infrastructure with the suggestion that visitor numbers be limited to match the ability of existing infrastructure to cope in the short term. shapingourfuture.org.nz/carrying-capacity-community-engagement-report/#CarryingCapacity #TourismNZ #Queenstown #wanaka
🍂 As Autumn makes its way in, some people find themselves feeling anxious and stressed.A reduction in sunlight leads to falling levels of serotonin, (the hormone that affects mood, appetite and sleep patterns) along with an increase in melatonin which makes you feel sleepy and depressed. Plus, a lack of Vitamin D from less exposure to sunlight and having to spend more time indoors can contribute to low mood.#AutumnWellness #queenstown #wanaka
