Tourist operators seek help?
As most of us can sympathise with any business struggling during this pandemic the tourist operators talking to the Taupo Times 25/2/2022 are treated in the same as any other business in regards to government support while this pandemic is in its 3rd year as explained by the Minister of Tourism Stuart Nash with substantial government subsidies. The government has to consider the well being of every New Zealander a gigantic task under the current pandemic situation of Omicron running rampant . By current estimates and as experienced overseas it takes 3 months for Omicron to run from start to peak to peter out i.e. the end of April. Many changes to relax the situation are in the governments plan and they are always well signaled in advance to the public, no secret plans here. It should be noted that there is also an other side to this tourist coin ,whilst New Zealand should be a safe attractive destination for tourist the rest of the world is also just opening up to insinuate blame to the government is premature and unwarranted. New Zealanders take their queues from what they see happening around them and act accordingly to keep safe not on government orders.
