Yesterday the New Zealand government announced a $200 million boost for regional tourism to keep operators open and travel bubble ready.
Along with a giant Kiwi and a surreal advertising pitch for Australian visitors, the support package was a more tangible aid unveiled at the TRENZ hui in Christchurch.
In a twelve-point plan, pots were put aside for various tourism rebuild goals. These included restarting hibernating businesses and revamping offerings to attract the kind of "sustainable" and "high-quality visitor" that Tourism minister Stuart Nash is hoping to woo.

The Kawatiri Coastal Trail will be a 55km walking and cycling track between Westport and Charleston on the West Coast.
House prices in parts of the West Coast are through the roof and some cycle trail businesses have reported double the customers since the Covid-19 pandemic began, despite tough times in the glacier country.
West Coast Scenic Waterways owner Cindy Hopper said her accommodation and boat cruise business near Hokitika had experienced “huge growth” in the past year.
Domestic tourists made up about 85 per cent of her customers before the pandemic hit.

Cindy and Gavin Hopper moved from Auckland to the West Coast to set up West Coast Scenic Waterways, offering paddle boat cruises and kayaking on Lake Mahinapua.

GO NZ: Hokitika holiday highlights - what to see, do and where to stay

GO NZ: Hokitika holiday highlights - what to see, do and where to stay

Conservative estimates have the Hokitika of the gold rush-crazy 1860s being the proud owner of no less than 100 pubs. Less conservative estimates place the number closer to 200. Either way, in what was a booming population of 25,000 transient souls looking to find fortune in those rich West Coast soils, whether your pub-to-person ratio was 1:250 or 1:125, you were unlikely to have gone thirsty.
All of which can be gleaned from the history lesson that comes free when you stay at the Hokitika Fire Station Apartments, a place with a history that dates back to those gold-digging, beer-swilling days. With all those pubs 'n' people crammed together in hastily-built quarters, fire was an ever-present risk. Indeed, in an ironic divine act, the town's first fire station once burnt to the ground after a lightning strike.
