A tick of approval for the Government's new tourism funding boost, aiming to generate an extra $300 million in spending. 

Minister Louise Upston's announced a $13.5 million injection into Tourism New Zealand, targeting markets in Australia, the US and China. 

It's hoping to bring an extra 72 thousand visitors over coming years.  

Tourism Holdings CEO Grant Webster told Mike Hosking it'll provide recovery from the post-Covid hangover.  

He says this is the most ambitious Government from a tourism perspective in around eight years, and looks forward to helping the economy grow.
