Tourism Minister grilled at Epidemic Response Committee

From Checkpoint, 6:06 pm on 12 May 2020

The Tourism Minister is not up to the job and the Prime Minister should take over the portfolio, according to one tour operator.

Haka Tourism offers adventure tours throughout the country, including multi-day tours of our ski slopes, mountains, cultural and beach trips.

On Tuesday its general manager Eve Lawrence spelt out the dire situation faced by her industry when she appeared at the Epidemic Response Committee.

Lawrence wants a clear plan and some certainty from Tourism Minister Kelvin Davis.

Davis declined to be interviewed on Checkpoint. Here is an excerpt of his appearance to the Epidemic Response Committee on Tuesday.
