Covid-19: Some Australian travellers back in Queenstown

From Morning Report, 6:50 am on 6 July 2021

Australians are back in Queenstown again much to the relief of local businesses.

Travel from South Australia, the ACT, Tasmania and Victoria lifted yesterday morning.

But some key states remain cut off.

iFly Queenstown owner Matt Wong says he's missing visitors from New South Wales who were expected to account for half of all his Australian visitors during their school holidays.

But he says business is looking better toward the end of this week when New Zealand school holidays also kick in.
