Pounamu Tourism Group owner Paul Jackson said they were preparing for about 60 cruise ship to arrive in Picton in 2020.
His company would take 300 passengers on the Marlborough Flyer steam train, delivering them to Blenhiem.
But when Covid-19 struck and he, like many others, was left with the vast majority of his usual market cut off by border closures. We were scratching our heads over lockdown and, obviously, the business was looking at 11,000 cruise passengers on the train and then back to zero, it was quite a jolt for us.
Five percent of their business was previously domestic.

South of Kaikōura, the rail journey will continue with two heritage DA locomotives built in the early 1950s, which will travel in double-header formation all the way to Invercargill. Upon reaching Invercargill, the tour will travel inland via luxury coach, taking in Te Anau, Milford Sound, Queenstown and Franz Josef.

The tour will take passengers down the length of the South Island in heritage trains. The inland section of the tour will also feature a return journey on the iconic Kingston Flyer steam train, which is returning to commercial operation for the first time since 2013. The journey will conclude with the famous TranzAlpine rail journey, crossing the Southern Alps from Greymouth to Christchurch.

The Great Southern Train Tour departing from Blenheim Railway Station for a trip down to Kaikoura.
As steam from the historic World War I locomotive darkened the Blenheim skies, onlookers gather for a closer glimpse of the iconic train as it prepares for its great southern adventure. Driver Philip Wagener, 72, is busy ensuring the steam pressure needle is swinging between 100 and 200 and balances the water in the boiler to make the all important steam. A train driver for 52 years, Wagener has driven all sorts of machines from electric powered to those with diesel engines. But the historic World War I memorial steam locomotive Ab608 is a special one.
