South Island tourist boom over long weekend, Kiwis encouraged to keep travelling

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from Northern Outlook

The South Island’s tourism sector burst back into life during the long weekend, but businesses still need Kiwis to get out and spend their dollars over the winter.

Tills were ringing from Marlborough to Southland as people enjoyed the warm weather and the chance to get away now the Covid-19 lockdown rules have been relaxed.

Did you go away over the long weekend or are you planning a trip somewhere in NZ soon? Tell us more in the comments.

Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.

Poll: Would you take a 1.5-hour hike for a shop? 🌿🐦

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Canterbury, you have a hidden treasure right on your doorstep ... though it does come with a 1.5-hour walk up the stunning Rakaia Gorge Walkway.

Along the trail you’ll find The Fantail Shop showcasing small artworks by local artisans. Even better, every purchase supports the Fantail Trust, helping protect and restore biodiversity on the north bank of the gorge.

So we’re curious: would you take a 1.5-hour hike for a shop? (And for local biodiversity, of course 🌿)
