It was only a month ago Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison was ribbing New Zealand s Jacinda Ardern about not wanting Australian tourists while the bubble negotiations dragged on.
Now he says the announcement is a win win , taking the opportunity again to point out New Zealand is late to the party. It was six months ago, almost, that Australia opened up to New Zealand and I m very pleased that the New Zealand government has decided that two way travel will commence Monday fortnight, he told reporters.
In 2019 Australians made up 40 percent of tourists and they spent $2 billion. Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern says it s estimated that spending will recover to about 80 percent of that by next year.
