Queenstown businesses want New Zealand to attract high quality tourists, but not at the expense of those on a budget. The Tourism Minister has confirmed the country won't market towards budget visitors who 'travel around our country on 10 dollars a day eating two-minute noodles', but says the welcome mat will be rolled out for all tourists. That's echoed in the latest global campaign from Tourism New Zealand. Reporter Tess Brunton is in Queenstown.
