La New Zealand<\/strong>known for its exceptional natural heritage, is putting in place measures to preserve its environment in the face of increasing pollution. tourism<\/strong>. From 1 October 2019, visitors from 60 countries, including the France<\/strong>are now required to obtain a travel authorisation<\/strong> named NZeTA<\/strong> (Electronic Travel Authorization) while paying a fee of ecotax<\/strong> IVL (International Visitor Conservation and Tourism Levy). These initiatives aim not only to strengthen the security<\/strong> border crossings, but also to fund the protection of the natural resources that inevitably attract tourists, while tackling the issues associated with climate change<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n With tourism booming, New Zealand is at a crucial crossroads. Keen to preserve its natural heritage in the face of environmental challenges, the country has introduced key measures such as travel authorisation NZeTA<\/strong> and tax IVL<\/strong> (International Visitor Conservation and Tourism Levy). These initiatives aim not only to strengthen border security, but also to ensure the sustainability of the natural resources that attract so many visitors every year.<\/p>\n\n New Zealand is famous for its breathtaking scenery, from majestic mountains to idyllic beaches. However, this growing tourist attraction is also having an impact on the environment. With alarming figures indicating that the tourism sector accounts for around 8%<\/strong> emissions, it is imperative for the country to act to balance economic development and environmental protection. <\/p>\n\n As of 1 October 2019, all nationals of 60 countries, including France, must obtain the NZeTA<\/strong> to travel to New Zealand for stays of up to three months. This electronic authorisation, which is valid for two years, allows for unlimited entries<\/strong> for stays of up to 90 days each. The aim of the NZeTA is clear: to strengthen border security by facilitating a faster and more secure immigration process.<\/p>\n\n In addition to the NZeTA, travellers must also pay theIVL<\/strong>an ecotax of around 20 euros<\/strong>. This tax is essential for funding infrastructure and nature protection projects, allowing tourists to enjoy New Zealand's wild beauty without compromising its integrity. Through this initiative, the government hopes that visitors will also feel concerned about preserving the environment they come to explore.<\/p>\n\n These measures are not limited to practical objectives; they also aim to raise awareness. The Minister for Conservation, Eugenie Sage, sees tourism as a lever for taking action against climate change. By promoting a more responsible travel model and soliciting financial contributions from tourists, New Zealand hopes to transform the way the world perceives and engages with the tourism sector.<\/p>\n\n By becoming more aware of the impact of tourism, travellers can play an active part in protecting the environment. Collecting VILI makes it possible to establish a direct link between the actions of visitors and the well-being of nature, reinforcing the idea that every dog deserves its pittance. By investing in conservation programmes, travellers contribute not only to their own experience, but also to that of future generations.<\/p>\n\n The approach adopted by New Zealand could serve as a model for other nations facing similar challenges. With growing awareness of the damaging effects of tourism on the environment, similar initiatives could emerge elsewhere. Measures combining regulation of tourist flows and financial support for conservation will further increase travellers' involvement in responsible holidays.<\/p>\n\nTourism in New Zealand<\/h3>\n\n
