Poll: Do you think direct flights to Hamilton will bring more tourists?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Goodbye Auckland Airport, big smoke traffic jams, motorway gauntlets, possible congestion charges and wasted time - and hello to the Mighty Waikato.

That’s the message being beamed to potential tourists across the ditch in the wake of Jetstar announcing the return of international flights to Hamilton Airport - and it’s getting the thumbs up from the region’s tourism players and politicians.

Do you think direct flights to Hamilton will bring more tourists? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
