Innovative Travel managing director, Robyn Galloway, says these new tours have come about literally by neighbourly collaboration and are a positive example of how companies can come together to face new challenges. Each tour is guaranteed to depart with a minimum of six clients. ‘Some travellers are feeling fearful and some have lost their confidence to travel. This is a way to get on the road again. We expect demand from couples, friends and solo travellers.’ Galloway says she expects the Winterless North, with the first tour departing Auckland on 16 August, priced from $1,580 ex Auckland share twin, to have great appeal to the domestic market, and to those seeking slightly warmer weather. Highlights include Paihia and Cape Reinga, Puketi Kauri Forest, Waitangi Treaty Grounds and a cruise to the Brett Peninsula. The six-day West Coast Wonder, first Neighbourly move leads to NZ opportunities for Go4iT travel to offer tours departing on 1 November, ex Christchurch which has more of a scenic focus, with visits to Hanmer Springs, Greymouth and Fox Glacier before returning to Christchurch. A helicopter flight over Fox Glacier is included in the tour price. Christchurch, Queenstown and the Lupins, a seven-day tour ex Christchurch, first departs on 21 November. ‘It is great to have the opportunity for New Zealander to comfortably see their onw country". If keen to book or have more information provided please support me as a local travel broker Carole from Go4it Travel, part of the Travel Brokers, Helloworld Group.

COVID statistics

Len from Hillsborough - Lepperton

While it is undoubtedly a serious health concern for some at the moment, it is also important to keep the risk in perspective for the sake of personal mental health wellbeing. Despite what seems to make the news, we are very unlikely to die from this virus, or even show serious to critical symptoms. The following link is the raw data on country statistics comparing testing rates, case fatality rates, recovery rates for the 5 million reported cases so far www.worldometers.info... . You can see how NZ ranks globally on these metrics (somewhere in the middle of 215 countries for most measures). The data focuses on reported cases, which as the following link explains, overestimates frequency for the worst case outcomes. The link goes to the Oxford University Centre for Evidence Based Medicine (do your own research on how credible you think they are) which analyses the case data, and uses health records and studies on what was known about SARS/ MERS/ Swine flu to estimate what the Infection Fatality Rate (IFR) for Covid-19 is likely to be (as opposed to the less reliable Case Fatality Rate (CFR)) www.cebm.net... . Draw your own conclusions but these sites show either factual information or use data science to provide a risk profile. In summary the estimated IFR for Covid is between 0.1% to 0.41% (i.e. chance of survival 99.6-99.9% for person selected at random). While this is also age dependent, the estimated IFR for otherwise healthy 70+ age group is still likely less than 1%. Some interesting points also made about selection bias, and coding of cases and outcomes that skew the reported results.
