Answer
From 2024/25 there is a variable amount of International Visitor Conservation and Tourism Levy revenue available for existing activity within tourism and conservation. The amount in any year depends on the amount of International Visitor Conservation and Tourism Levy revenue collected. I refer the member to the Estimated IVL Revenue and Expenditure: 2019/20 to 2028/29 table located on the Ministry for Business, Innovation and Employment's website: https://www.mbie.govt.nz/immigration-and-tourism/tourism/tourism-funding/international-visitor-conservation-and-tourism-levy/what-is-the-ivl.
