Mark Quickfall isn’t shy to admit he has been suffering a little bit of anxiety in recent months.
And who can blame him, with his multimillion-dollar Queenstown tourism company, Totally Tourism, being severely affected by New Zealand’s border closures.

He feared what another community outbreak of Covid-19 would do for businesses around the country.

Hi there,
Canterbury has been named the fifth most welcoming region in the world in the Booking.com Traveller Review Awards, while Oamaru, Hokitika and Invercargill have been named the most welcoming towns in NZ. They were followed by Cambridge, Picton, Lake Tekapo, Kerikeri, Palmerston North, Paihia and Twizel.
We'd be really keen to hear your thoughts on this based on your own travels around New Zealand. Do you think Canterbury is NZ's most welcoming region? And are these our most welcoming towns?
Where in NZ have you been made to feel particularly welcome on your travels?
As usual, please put 'NFP' in your comment if you don't want it to be included in an article. Cheers.
