Completing a Great Walk is set to become more expensive for the first time in four years.
The Department of Conservation is increasing the price of a hut on a Great Walk or a campsite by 18% from July.
Paparoa will increase by 6%.
Fees will range from $19 to camp in the Abel Tasman, to $92 for a hut on the Milford Track.
Tourism Industry Aotearoa chief executive Rebecca Ingram told Mike Hosking that the majority of international tourists come to New Zealand for our scenery.
She says about 50% visit a national park each year, and for many it's a Great Walk.
