The New Zealand government has said it plans to impose a tax on most international arrivals to pay for infrastructure improvements.
The tax could be up to NZ$35 (£18) per person.
Minister for tourism Kelvin Davis said: "It’s only fair that they make a small contribution so that we can help provide the infrastructure they need and better protect the natural places they enjoy.
"This rapid growth has impacted on the costs and availability of publicly-provided infrastructure. Many regions are struggling to cope and urgently need improved infrastructure, from toilet facilities to car parks."
Neighbour Australia, which is the largest source market, will be exempt from the tax, as will several Pacific Island nations.
Citizens from most other nations will however pay it, which will be collected with visa applications.
Eligible visa-on-arrival travellers will pay it through a new electronic travel authority which will be rolled out.
New Zealand says its infrastructure is buckling under the strain of surging tourist numbers which are up by nearly a third in the past three years.
Other fees are also being hiked significantly, including fees for various immigration services and the cost of working holiday visas.
