Since 1 July 2019, most international visitors to New Zealand have been charged the International Visitor Conservation and Tourism Levy (IVL). The IVL is set at $100 for each eligible visitor to New Zealand.
In May and June 2024 we consulted on proposed changes to the International Visitor Conservation and Tourism Levy (IVL). Following consultation, the Government has now agreed to increase the IVL to $100.
The Tourism Growth Partnership and Regional Mid-sized Tourism Facilities Grant Fund closed in 2017. Remaining funds were rolled into the Tourism Infrastructure Fund.
The Tourism Infrastructure Fund (TIF) provided up to $25 million annually to develop tourism-related infrastructure that supports regions facing pressure from tourism growth.
