Or to put it another way. If nobody came and spent money at the hotels, ever, do you think the hotels would still employ staff? If more people came to stay at hotels than they currently do, do you think that they'd employ more staff? If more staff are employed, and the available pool of additional staff diminishes, do you think that wages will rise to make existing, unfilled positions more attractive?

The money you get from a buoyant economy seems to me to be the grand total of whatever's in your bank account, and whatever assets you own.

Say that again,SLOWLY.

Maybe we should be pushing for tax breaks for cruise ship operators :illogical

659105 2008-04-17 01:10:00 Very well said.I hadn't heard of any NZ'ers being employed in NZ as cruise ship operators. Besides, cruise ship operating ain't a national sport with increasing numbers of stars heading overseas. Greg (193)

They will be very minor. Tax cuts are also inflationary, which could lead to interest rate rises, but I believe that a tax cut has aleady been allowed for in the reserve banks calculations.
