Lost tourism
While Minister Stuart Nash s comments about the future of tourism in New Zealand may seem overly harsh, he is right in saying that tourism will not return to what it has been.
Visitors from Australia will probably be about the same level but the conditions that made possible large numbers from further afield are unlikely to return.
Many of these were young adventurers who could afford the ever-cheaper fares that competing airlines provided and there was little concern that they could get jobs back home when their trip had ended.
