PrNew Zealand Prime Minister John Key said he’s using the nation’s golf courses to attract big-spending tourists and boost economic growth.

“Golf is one thing we’re using” to grow tourism revenue, Key, who is also tourism minister, said in an interview in Davos on Jan. 23. “Because of the beauty and great quality of the golf courses in New Zealand, we’re using that as a bit of a lure to attract those that are mobile and are interested in traveling and playing golf around the world.”
