After Coronavirus: A Trans-Tasman travel bubble?
Could a quarantine-free regional travel area be on the cards?
New Zealand is seen by many as a great example of surviving coronavirus, but with such a tourism-heavy economy there are concerns a further shock is to come. One idea mooted to help alleviate this is the so-called βtrans-Tasman bubbleβ in which travel restrictions between Australia and New Zealand would be reciprocally lifted, before all the worldβs borders open up, to stimulate commerce between the two nations. This programme features Colin Peacock in Wellington, Maggie Fea from Gibson Valley Wines in Queenstown, Veteran New Zealand politician Peter Dunne and Pacific health policy expert Dr. Colin Tukuitonga.
