On September 29, Tourism New Zealand held an online seminar for resuming international travel. Mr. Joan Gorey and Mr. Motoko Uchida of the same station gave an explanation.
New Zealand has set four alert levels for the new coronavirus (4 is the highest), and as of September 27, Auckland is at level 3 and the rest of the world is at level 2. Auckland had been upgraded to Level 4 and put into lockdown after a rapid increase in community transmission of the Delta strain in mid-August.
The reopening of borders is planned for early 2022, following a push to vaccinate New Zealanders. Depending on the situation in each country, we plan to make three classifications: “low risk countries”, exempting quarantine for vaccinated persons; It is a "non-vaccinated, high-risk country" with a 14-day quarantine. However, it has not yet been decided where Japan will be classified.
Travelers are greeted with the 'Tiaki Promise' in the native Maori language. Tiaki means "Care, Protect", and in order to preserve New Zealand's nature and culture, the Department of Conservation, Tourism, Air New Zealand, and other environmental businesses will work together.
In addition, on the official YouTube channel, rugby players Kazuki Himeno and Richie Makow have released videos of enjoying superb views and gourmet food, and the official Twitter (@PureNZinJapan) is also developing a gift campaign.
