Grant Webster: Tourism Holdings Limited CEO on the effectiveness of the new visa pathway for Chinese and Pacific travellers

A positive outlook for Chinese tourism as a new visa pathway delivers results.  The trial allows Chinese and Pacific travellers with a valid Australian visa to enter New Zealand for up to three months.  Arrivals have nearly tripled since December, with Chinese tourists injecting about $210 million into Kiwi businesses.  Tourism Holdings Limited Chief Executive Grant Webster told Mike Hosking the trial is absolutely working and New Zealand's responding faster to growing demand from Chinese visitors.  He says this just gives more options for these travellers, adding we're fortunate to have this system as it doesn't work the other way around.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
