不知从何时起，旅游业的兴旺也成了一个全球性问题，多个旅游大国纷纷推出各种限制旅游的措施，新西兰更是说到做到，从7月1日起开始征收游客税，以后中国人去新西兰要多交160元的税，还要花55元办理电子旅行许可证。 New Zealand has started charging an “admission fee” of NZ$35 to overseas visitors. 新西兰开始向外国游客征收“入场费”，每人35纽元（约合人民币160元）。 The International Visitor Conservation and Tourism Levy (IVL) came into effect on July 1, 2019. 这项国际旅客保育及旅游税于2019年7月1日生效。 The tax applies to most foreign visitors. Citizens of Australia and some small Pacific nations are exempt, as are transit passengers. Crews on ships and aircraft will also dodge the levy. 这项税收适用于大多数外国游客。澳大利亚和一些太平洋小岛国居民可以免交旅游税，其他免税人群包括，中转旅客、船员和飞机乘务人员等。 exempt[ɪg'zɛmpt]: adj. 被免除的；被豁免的 dodge[dɑdʒ]: v. 躲开；迅速让开；逃避 Tourism contributes one-10th of New Zealand’s GDP and employs over 230,000 people. 旅游业所贡献的收入占了新西兰国内生产总值的十分之一，解决了23万人口的就业问题。 Kelvin Davies, the tourism minister, said: “Investment in supporting infrastructure and protection of our natural attractions is not keeping up with visitor growth.” |
