Tourism is big business these days and to ensure that Nelson has its chance to get a slice of the tourist cake, the Progress League sponsored the visit of 12 men and women travel agents from all over New Zealand to Nelson. For six days they were shown around the province before returning home to direct (we hope) large numbers of tourists to the scenic wonderland that's Nelson. In this pic, at the Tahuna Motor Camp, are Nelsonians Trevor Horne (left), Royd Dixon (second left), Jerry Harris (above Royd) and Sean O'Hagan, Nelson PRO (far right).

Off to Antarctica is Leading Seaman Roger Skilton of the open unit of the Nelson Sea Cadets. He is the only Nelson cadet chosen and is one of three from the whole of New Zealand. He leaves in H.M.N.Z.S. Endeavour early this month.
