ABOUT
The Wonder Country is the story of tourism in New Zealand from 1870 through to the end of the twentieth century, written with an eye to pleasure as well as information.
Government was the prime mover especially in the early days and McClure follows the development of the major tourist sites and landmark hotels -- Rotorua, the Hermitage, Waitomo, the Chateau, Milford and Te Anau. Later she describes the Centennial Exhibition, the establishment of the National Film Unit, the Tourist Hotel Corporation and Air New Zealand. Activities like taking the waters, skiing, fishing, and climbing are as important in this story as places and institutions.
Illustrated throughout with monochrome and colour images and maps.
