While political commentators play the guessing game about who will take over the party's leadership it was business as usual for Labour's Andrew Little.
The Labour Party's justice and tourism spokesman was in Rotorua yesterday and visited the Community Law Office, Whakarewarewa Village and Te Roopu A Iwi O Te Arawa.
He also lunched with a group of local tourism operators at the Rotorua Museum.
Mr Little said Rotorua's tourist operators would face a new challenge in the near future with a predicted influx of Chinese and Asian tourists to the country.
"Rotorua has a diverse tourist offering but with another 800,000 Chinese tourists predicted to be coming to New Zealand over the next few years everyone in the industry needs to be focused and ready," he said.
