Immigration and tourism

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, New Zealand set up a Managed Isolation and Quarantine (MIQ) system out of necessity to protect our people.

New Zealand’s immigration system needs to function well within wider labour market, economic, community and security contexts to enhance New Zealanders’ well-being.

• Immigration consultations
• Recognised Seasonal Employer policy review
• Changes to temporary work visas
• Immigration website
• Addressing temporary migrant worker exploitation
• Migration research and evaluation
• Migrant Community Reference Group

We advise the government on resetting and rebuilding tourism on a sustainable and regenerative model of tourism. Regenerative tourism is about giving back more to people and places than it takes. It actively enriches our communities and helps protect and restore our environment. We provide support to the sector as it navigates difficult times, and we provide policy advice to support its recovery.
