Business Events Industry Aotearoa welcomes end to isolation for vaccinated visitors

Business Events Industry Aotearoa welcomes end to isolation for vaccinated visitors
March 1, 2022

Business Events Industry Aotearoa (BEIA) has welcomed the lifting of all self-isolation requirements for fully vaccinated New Zealanders and eligible visa holders entering the country from Australia. This group will no longer be required to isolate from 11:59pm, Wednesday 2nd March.

Business Events Industry Aotearoa (BEIA) Chief Executive Lisa Hopkins says this decision signals a strong intent for other travellers, with the Prime Minister indicating a decision will be made soon on when all fully-vaccinated visitors can come to New Zealand without self-isolation.

Hopkins notes “this is a great start in reconnecting New Zealand with the world. We are encouraged by the Prime Minister saying a decision could be made by mid-March on opening up to all travellers.

“However, for the past two years, our industry has felt like it has been in a permanent lockdown. We have a significant number of business events in a holding pattern because of current international border settings and, as a consequence, many New Zealanders here at home are still unsure of their future.

“Our message to the Prime Minister is that while today is the first step in delivering hope back to many in the visitor economy, we now look forward to timely decisions on the next steps of the plan to ensure the industry can begin its own recovery from Covid.”
