Now the Ibis Rotorua can be added to the list, apparently they are running out of hotel rooms in Auckland.
Do wonder how many hotel room nights, are being taken by people that have just come from Australia?
Could be reduced to 48hours for people from Australia, provided that test negative on arrival.

A bus AKL to Hamilton would not take that long
How many are coming direct from other places, how many via transit Aust (many on QR via DOH) or were living in Aust.
Or Air Auckland could schedule more flights to other international airports like WLG & CHC (from AU). Just takes planning

Rotorua is a decent a bus trip, unless they are flying. The more steps in the path before isolation the more risk from others and to others.

Maybe they should do some flights that only people that have been Australia for 14 or more days are allow to board on Tasman, and fly them directly into some of the regions fo the isolation period.

ROT does have the ability for an A320 from Australia to land there, NZ did run an SYD-ROT service for a couple of years.

The NZ Government bureaucracy does seem to be in panic mode

It isn't just Air NZ. Some other airlines are starting to resume flights. Potentially some of the longhaul flights could be directed to use CHC instead of AKL? Some of Air NZ flights from Australia and South Pacific could be directed to use HLZ / ROT / ZQN / WLG instead of being almost exclusively AKL.

CHC hotels are already being used. The talk in govt is to start using Queenstown if the returnee numbers continue to rise at the rate they are. Right now, AKL can only cope with ~250 a day. CHC could handle the same (at ~150 a day right now) and Queenstown could handle ~350 a day.

Surely so many hotel rooms being blocked, will be come an hinderance to domestic tourism.
