Summary
New Zealand’s tourism future could hinge on a bold new idea: a tourist bed tax. Visitors would pay a small nightly fee, with proceeds directly funding local attractions and infrastructure — a win-win that’s gaining traction among mayors and operators.

Meanwhile, the All Whites cling to World Cup hope after a crushing loss to Egypt, needing a miracle against Belgium. And globally, the UK’s PM resignation sends shockwaves — while at home, New Zealand’s political parties jostle for economic leadership.
