  Speaker 1: The Coast Breakfast Bonus Podcast with Tony Jason Sam.

  Speaker 2: Thanks for listening to our Breakfast Bonus podcast Today. We're
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: talking about split level pricing like they're doing tourist towns
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: like Japan's all over this at the moment, and at
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: first people are like kicking back, going what you're charging tourists?
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: More so they're saying, no, we're not charging anyone anymore.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: What we're doing is we're charging locals less.
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: How do they get away with that? I just don't
• 0:20
  Speaker 3: think that would happen in New Zealand because where our
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: whole hospitality and tourism sector is bleeding at the moment
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: and they just simply couldn't charge us less.
• 0:30
  Speaker 4: No, But I see from their perspective as well, because
• 0:33
  Speaker 4: when I was overseas, there is cities that have been
• 0:36
  Speaker 4: ruined by tourism and they can't turn them away, can they?
• 0:39
  Speaker 4: You know, like Venus is just overflowing with people, Rome
• 0:44
  Speaker 4: overflowing with people, and you can see the frustration on
• 0:46
  Speaker 4: the locals, the people that live there. They're just like, man,
• 0:49
  Speaker 4: I can't move in my own streets expensive.
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: But I don't know if I agree with that either,
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: because what are we saying that, you know, you have
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: to be super rich to see famous places.
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: I think that's where it's going to hit.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: That's what I don't think. New Zealand at one stage
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: talked about this too. They want to attract and they
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: call them the highend tourists, you know, the big spins,
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: And they talk that Queenstown might adopt the split level
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: pricing too, because if you live in Queenstown, you know
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: how expensive it is. We'd friends of us who live
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: there for a few years and they even though to
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: the supermarket of things, it's so expensive because it's geared
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: for the tourists.
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: I think Queenstown might possibly be the only place in
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: New Zealand where that could work. But then I just
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: still don't think where our country is in a place
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: where we want to turn away tourists. They're not busy enough.
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: They won't cripple us at the moment.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: But you talk the places like Japan, right, there's one
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: castle there. They have like four hundred and fifty thousand
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: visitors a year for one castle there, and so the
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: streets in Japan are crammed. And what they're doing is
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: they're also starting to hire English speaking staff and so
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: by charging locals lists, but tourists a little bit more.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: They can cover the cost of hiring English speaking staff.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: But then you start arguing, what is that the authentic
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: Japanese experience you're going for.
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: I don't think. I don't think people will charge the
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: locals list. I think they would just charge the tourists more.
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: That's how it'll work well Japan. Reckon, they're not in Japan.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: They're saying, we're just charging locals lists.
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it is a business model. That isn't that how
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: business works. It's all based on supply and demand. You
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: can charge people more, have less less people through and
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: lower your overheads. It's just a business model. Then all
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: of a sudden, you make the same amount of money
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: for the less amount of people, which means that the
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: terroist destinations are not overflowing, which means they're nicer for
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: the people that are there. But yeah, it will be
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: more expensive.
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: What are we talking about in terms of what they're
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: charging for? So are we talking about charging someone to
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: go up the Eiffel Tower? This is charging them for
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: a bowl of pasta, Because it's quite different because most
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: locals aren't going to go up the Eiffel Tower, because
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: they've done it a million times.
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: Maybe you know what I mean?
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: Do you know?
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: I have the ultimate example from my chip in Europe.
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: Whenever I saw a toilet that I had to pay for,
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: I was delighted to pay for it because, you know why,
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: it meant that it wasn't it didn't have a queue,
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: and it meant that it was clean. The alternative to
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: that was going to the other toilets you don't have
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: to pay for, and they were crowded. There's people everywhere
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: and they were disgusting. And my little girls touch everything
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: in bathroom. So I always prepared to pay a pounder pee.
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: So the user pay could be a good thing.
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: It's a good good thing.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: I think.
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: I think it could.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: I could see how it could work again in busy,
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: busy places. Let your venuses like Japan's, like your Paris is.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: I suppose because you were saying, even to go to
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: the Colisseum, you've got to book your spot.
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: Now Vatican's the same Vatican, the colisseum you have to pay.
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: In the past you could just swe up, get a
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: spot and walk in. Now you have to book a slot.
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: Right, I see, I know what this chat is meant
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: to be about, but I want to talk about the
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: fact that we don't have any paid toilets here and
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: how I would definitely pay in some situations to.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: What they had a super topal that you had to
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: pay for.
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, they need to bring that back in because
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: sometimes you just do not want to use.
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: The public I totally agree. Yeah, like the one in
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: San Jiminiano. There was people everywhere, and I tell you what,
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: I went in there and it was crystal clean. I
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: was like, that's the best pound I've ever spending notes Europe.
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: Should we start it up a business to pay for toilets?
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: Start out the business, we're gonna put your tool.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: I don't know many places you have to.
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: Put it next to the filthiest, busiest toilet in.
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: Town, beaches, beach toilets.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: True, yeah, yeah, so I could see how it would
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: work on those busy places. But I think you're right.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: In New Zealand, we're not ready for that. We're we're
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: just begging people to come here. At the moment.
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: It's a great business. I'm gonna call it ones and
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: toos And if you're going to need to go to,
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: you to because you've got all the.
