Scenes of joyful tears at the Wellington Airport on day one of the trans-Tasman bubble.
The return of Australian tourists is expected to bring a small but welcome boost for Manawatū tourism operators. The first quarantine-free international passenger flights since the start of the pandemic arrived on Monday, after the trans-Tasman bubble officially opened on Monday. Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment statistics show Australian travellers spent $45 million in the wider Manawatū in 2019, and similar spending this year would ease the strain on tourism operators who’ve had to adapt to new markets and lay-off staff during the pandemic. Central Economic Development Agency spokeswoman Janet Reynolds said people visiting friends and family had always been a big part of Manawatū tourism, and with many Australian’s itching to reconnect with Kiwi kin after a year’s separation, the travel bubble was certainly good news for everyone.

The young backpackers that were the bread and butter of a Rangitīkei adventure and accommodation business are just not there this year. Last financial year guests spent nearly 11,000 nights in Brian Megaw s 80-bed River Valley Lodge at Pukeokahu, in remote hill country near Taihape. It was busy, and sometimes stressful.
This year Megaw predicts there will be about 2000 bed nights spent at the lodge.
