Northland's tourism operators say that if they can't welcome visitors back to the region soon, there won't be an industry at all in the not too distant future. Te Tai Tokerau is the only region that will still be in the red traffic light setting come December the 30th as the region is yet to reach 90% vaccination rates. That means no more than 100 people are able to gather for New Year's Eve celebrations in the Far North And as Matthew Theunissen reports, some hospitality owners say that's not good enough and the Bay of Islands should be in orange.
