Tourism and Transport Forum CEO Margy Osmond says the idea of a trans-Tasman travel bubble “has an enormous amount going for it”.

A trans-Tasman bubble allowing Australians and Kiwis to travel between countries will be on the agenda when New Zealand's Prime Minister joins today's national cabinet teleconference. The Tourism and Transport Forum CEO told Sky News there was an enormous amount of work being done to facilitate the plan.

“I think it’s important to understand that New Zealand is still our second biggest market, in fact it’s only in the last 12 to 18 months that China beat New Zealand as being our biggest group of inbound,” Ms Osmond said. Ms Osmond said it was especially important following a horror year for the industry which was already devastated by the bushfires. “Essentially from the tourism industry’s perspective, we’ve had the ultimate perfect storm, the double whammy to end them all,” she said.
