Event explores re-imagining Pacific tourism post-pandemic

Posted on 29 November 2021

Covid has effectively closed Pacific state borders to tourists for nearly two years. What will tourism in the Pacific look like post Covid, and how can New Zealanders be ‘good’ tourists?

Join the discussion at the next CID Talk, with experts, authors and travel guides on what this ‘interruption to business as usual’ is likely to mean for the future of tourism in the Pacific.

Thousands of jobs have gone, and economies overly dependent on tourism are struggling. Pacific leaders are challenging us to use Covid as an opportunity to re-think tourism in the Pacific. Going back to the pre-Covid era of low wages, insecure contracts, and little local ownership is not an option for Pacific communities.
