42236 (2025). Lemauga Lydia Sosene to the Minister for Tourism and Hospitality

42236 (2025). Lemauga Lydia Sosene to the Minister for Tourism and Hospitality: How many international flights in total, if any, counting each leg of a journey as an individual flight, has each department or entity that the Minister is responsible for paid for in the period from November 27th 2023 to August 1st 2025; and what was the total cost broken down by month, destination, cabin class and the purpose of the flight?

Hon Louise Upston: As Minister for Tourism and Hospitality, I have no responsibility for any government departments or ministries. With regard to Crown entities under the Tourism and Hospitality portfolio, I am advised that, for Tourism New Zealand, answering this will require more time than available to collate due to where the information is held. An indication of Tourism New Zealand's international travel costs can be found in the responses to written questions for the 2023/24 Annual review of the New Zealand Tourism Board: https://www.parliament.nz/en/pb/sc/submissions-and-advice/document/54SCEDSI_EVI_b8b6aa01-dd30-4226-cf7a-08dd0785835e_EDSI7835/new-zealand-tourism-board-responses-to-written-questions.
