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

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.” LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
