The National Party is promising to build a new “Great Walk” as part of its new tourism policy.
It's planed an $14m upgrade the 80km Waiau-Toa/Molesworth walking track in Canterbury, creating the 11th Great Walk.
Hurunui Mayor Marie Black told Tim Dower that having a track of this distinction in their district would be a significant boost for the local and regional economies.
She said that the district would embrace something of this nature, and it could bring in the big spenders.
