Tourism Minister Stuart Nash predicts Queenstown could enjoy a record ski season thanks to the trans-Tasman bubble, and hints he’ll announce more measures to help the Covid-ravaged tourism industry next week.
In the resort on a family holiday last weekend, Nash spoke to
Mountain Scene after he was
spotted chatting with mayor Jim Boult at Exchange Cafe.
He’s previously suggested he’ll look at doing more for the battling tourism industry.
Nash now says in ‘‘a big speech’’ at TRENZ Hui 2021 — a tourism business event in Christchurch next week — he’s going to ‘‘outline a number of measures’’ to help.
