The Tourism Minister says the extra money from increased overseas visitor fees will be funnelled back into the industry.

The International Visitor Conservation and Tourism Levy rises next month from $35 to $100 next month.

Matt Doocey says $100 is less than three percent of a visitor's total spend.

"Ultimately, this levy will be reinvested into both tourism pressures - but also, the conservation estates, which a large part of people travel to New Zealand for. So we'll be delivering a better product."
