Travel is booming, but can Kiwis afford to take flight?

Audio

Description

After the era of lockdowns, the travel sector is hitting another speed bump. The Minister for Tourism has publicly criticised the high cost of some tourism operators, leading to questions about whether Aotearoa's tourists are being taken for a ride. Not to be deterred, international airlines are trying to lure us back to the skies with more direct routes and new innovations to improve the travel experience. But with economic concerns looming, can the average Kiwi still afford the luxury of domestic travel, let alone international?
