Copying all text to a new tab or buffer in vim

I have this function which get all text of current tab and does an echo on it. 

function! Copy2new ()
   let alltext = getline(1,'$')  
   for s in alltext
      echo s
   endfor
endfunction

I know that :tabnew can create a new tab. How can I use above function to put entire text of one buffer to a new tab?
