The Government's considering charging more for visits to national parks and conservation areas.
The Department of Conservation has released two documents for public consultation on modernising conservation.
It's seeking feedback on questions like who should pay visitor fees, including both domestic and international tourists.
Conservation Minister Tama Potaka told Mike Hosking he understands there will be some concerns.
He says there are some people who believe it's their right to go to these places for free.
Consultations closes in February.
