The tourism industry will be hoping for a clearer timeline on when New Zealand's border will fully reopen to everyone.

Tourism Industry Aotearoa spokesperson Ann-Marie Johnson says it would be great for New Zealanders to be able to come back, and isolate at home.

But she told Kate Hawkesby the tourism recovery won't begin until all holidaymakers can come here, with no self-isolation or MIQ.

“Obviously you’re not going to want to spend the first week of your holiday, or the first ten days in self-isolation if you’re here for just a short time.”
