An article published in the English version of China's People's Daily newspaper suggests New Zealand has fallen out of favour with Chinese travellers.
The paper, regarded as the mouthpiece for the Chinese government, quotes a traveller who saved more than $3200 to come to New Zealand but cancelled his plans.
"Is it a kind of robbery? New Zealand stabbed us in the back but asks for our money? This is double-faced," a Beijing-based worker told the Global Times.
Ouch. These sentiments can do immense damage to our industry. Time to get some grown ups back into government. Green behind the ears is not good enough.
