Overview

COVID-19 has undeniably had a significant impact on the tourism sector, especially for New Zealand as our country’s largest export industry. Prior to the pandemic, tourism was responsible for delivering over $40 billion to the country. As Chief Executive of South Island tourism company RealNZ and former CEO of Tourism New Zealand, Stephen England-Hall has been witness to the many changes this industry has faced over the past 18 months. He joins us to share his thoughts on the state of tourism and travel in New Zealand including the Australasian travel bubble. He will also provide some insights on the short- and long-term impacts of COVID-19 for the New Zealand economy.
