NZ 'unlikely' to see significant international travel volumes this year and early 2022

新西蘭今年和2022年初的國際旅游量“不大可能”大幅增長

International travel re-starting "won't just be a sudden flick of the switch moment", says Covid-19 Response Minister Chris Hipkins, adding New Zealand would be "unlikely" to see significant volumes beyond safe zones this year and possibly early into next year.

新西蘭Covid-19反應(yīng)部長希普金斯表示，國際旅游業(yè)的重新開始“不會是突然的轉(zhuǎn)變”，新西蘭今年和明年初都“不太可能”看到超出安全限制的大量旅游。

It comes after Australia's Trade Minister Dan Tehan told Sky News his "best guess" of opening up international borders would not be until the second half of 2022.

此前，澳大利亞貿(mào)易部長丹特漢(Dan Tehan)對Sky News表示，他對開放國際旅游的“最佳猜測”是在2022年下半年。

When asked today of New Zealand's position on opening borders, Hipkins said it is "unlikely to see significant volumes of international travel, beyond safe zones, in this year and possibly early into next year".

當(dāng)被問及新西蘭在開放邊境問題上的立場時，希普金斯說，“今年以及明年初，不太可能看到大量跨越安全區(qū)的國際旅行”。

He said Australia's modelling was "probably quite sensible".

他表示，澳大利亞的模式“可能相當(dāng)明智”。

"I've always said I think that international travel won't just be a sudden flick of the switch moment where all the border restrictions come up," Hipkins said.

希普金斯說：“我一直表示，我認(rèn)為國際旅行不會是所有邊境限制措施的突然轉(zhuǎn)變。”。

"It'll ramp slowly over time and we will take a risk-based approach.

“隨著時間的推移，市場會緩慢回升，一切都將基于風(fēng)險可控的基礎(chǔ)之上。”

"That may include opening up to a broader number of safe-ish countries earlier. Vaccination may play a role in that too, but at this point...this year, unless you're talking safe zones, don't rely on people coming in from other countries without doing that two weeks of isolation on arrival."

“可能包括較早地向更多安全國家開放，接種疫苗也可能在這方面發(fā)揮一點作用，但在這一點上……今年，除非你說的是安全區(qū)，否則所有從其他國家來的人在抵達(dá)時都要有兩周的隔離。”

On if it is likely New Zealand will open in the second half of 2022, Hipkins said, "at this point we just don't know".

關(guān)于新西蘭是否有可能在2022年下半年開放，希普金斯說，“目前我們還不知道”。
