David Gatward-Ferguson: Nomad Safaris owner says entry dates for Australians will help with that market, but not for long haul - Early Edition on Newstalk ZB

The bringing forward of entry dates for tourists is expected to help with the Australian market but not for the long-haul one. 
It's understood fully vaccinated Australians will be able to arrive from April 12, without self-isolating. 
Visitors from other countries New Zealand has visa waiver arrangements with, like the United Kingdom, will be able to come in the following weeks. 
Nomad Safaris owner, David Gatward-Ferguson, told Kate Hawkesby it will help get Australians here for the ski season but says a year is needed to plan travel from further afield. 
“We won’t see internationals long-haul until next year, which will be way, way too late.”
