The reopening of Australia's border has come as unwelcome news for our tourism sector. 

Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison has announced double vaccinated international travellers will be welcome in the country from February 21st. 

Under our own government's current plans international visitors’ may not be able to enter New Zealand until July, and they'd have to self-isolate for at least a week on arrival. 

Lynda Keene, Chief Executive of the Tourism Export Council, joined Heather du Plessis-Allan.
