Press Release – Ngai Tahu Tourism
Ngāi Tahu Tourism welcomes today’s Government announcement to open the trans-Tasman bubble.
Ngāi Tahu Tourism owns several world-class tourism attractions, and all have been lucky to have incredible domestic support from New Zealanders this past year.
The announcement of the trans-Tasman bubble means the chance to showcase once again some of the most beautiful parts of our country to an international market.
General Manager Jet Boat Operations Jolanda Cave says while there have been many positives to the past year, including the opportunity to see the domestic support shown for local businesses, the closure of the borders has been hard on the tourism industry.

When a helicopter passes overhead, taking another group on a scenic flight further up the valley, everyone stops to stare. That noise would have been constant this time last year, as thousands of mainly overseas visitors were ferried from base to ice and back again.

The ice in the deep crevasses shines blue, but it looks white on the surface. The whole town would have been booked out with visitors, the car park down in the valley straining with bright rented camper vans and tour buses. On New Year’s Day in 2020, a record 7137 people visited the valley, according to Department of Conservation track counter data.
