Tourism has a future, expect visitors in numbers by spring

The Government has this morning announced a $49 million kickstart tourism fund for the South Island. The fund is now available for businesses which are ready to scale up operations or come out of hibernation to prepare for the return of international visitors, starting with vaccinated Australian travellers from April the 13th. Nathan Rarere discussed this with the Deputy Prime Minister Grant Robertson and started by asking when he expects the sector to be fully up and running again.
