The CEO of the International Rugby Board (IRB), Mike Miller, said Monday New Zealand currently runs the risk of its good international reputation destroyed, due to excessive prices for accommodation is required.

Some operators Miller spot on the allegations because the IRR yourself thousands of dollars to ask for World Cup tickets.

Miller said hotels do not meet the long-term effect when guests almost 10 times more to ask for rooms in September and October.

"Some of them simply thought: Here we have a big impact without hitting on the future to worry," said Miller on Radio New Zealand said. "This is not a good image for the country.

There is currently concern that many restaurants their supplies not ordered on time and you may be struggling to products such as beef and mutton as well as wine to about 85 000 tourists needs.

Demand at hotels will allegedly be so high that every day from the start on 9 September to the finals on October 23 as busy as New Year's Eve will be.
