Anger from the tourism industry over the lack of action and clarity from the Government.

Back in May, the Government announced a $54 million recovery fund for the struggling sector as part of  the Budget.

The scheme was pitched as a grant to fund innovative and sustainable tourism operations, but nothing has been paid out.

Haka Tourism general manager Eve Lawrence told Kate Hawkesby all they want from the Government is action.

She says the fund, its criteria and its definition of innovation needs to be clearly defined, which she says, they aren't.
