Lawe ʻia ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi i nā hale kūʻai souvenir ma nā wahi ʻoihana backstreet a haʻi ʻia nā kumukūʻai i ke kālā ʻAmelika.
Nā alakaʻi e hoʻolimalima i ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi i mau haneli kālā e haʻalele i kā lākou huakaʻi e kipa aku i kahi hoahānau a i ʻole hoa aloha no kekahi mau hola.
E hiamoe ana nā alakaʻi mākaʻikaʻi ma nā lobbies o ka hōkele e hoʻōki i nā lālā o kā lākou hui e hele i waho a kipa i nā hale kūʻai kūloko e hoʻohālikelike i nā kumukūʻai.
ʻO kēia ke ʻano o nā moʻolelo weliweli āu e hui pū ai me ke kipa ʻana i kahi ʻāina ʻekolu o ka honua.
Akā ʻōlelo ka poʻe hoʻokele mākaʻikaʻi Kiwi he mau ʻike lākou e loaʻa ana i nā malihini Kina ma New Zealand.
ʻOi aku ma mua o 117,000 poʻe Kina i kipa mai i ko mākou ʻāina i ka makahiki a hiki i Kepakemapa 2008.
Mai ka makahiki 2000 ua hoʻonui ʻia nā helu ma ka awelika o 22 pākēneka o ka makahiki.
I kēia makahiki ua lanakila ʻo Kina iā Iapana ma ke ʻano he ʻehā o ka mākeke nui loa ma New Zealand ma nā helu. Ma ka makahiki 2014 ua wānana ʻia e kokoke like nā helu e hele mai ana mai ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa, ke kolu o ka mākeke nui loa o Aotearoa.
ʻO nā pilikia e pili ana i ka lawe ʻana i ka poʻe Kina i New Zealand, ka hōʻoia ʻana e loaʻa iā lākou ka manawa maikaʻi ma ʻaneʻi a me ka hana ʻana i mea kūpono no nā ʻoihana mākaʻikaʻi o New Zealand.
Hōʻike ka noiʻi ʻo Tourism New Zealand i ka poʻe malihini kipa ʻo Kina ka pae haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa o ka poʻe a pau e kipa ana i kēia ʻāina.
Hoʻohui ka hapa nui iā New Zealand me kahi huakaʻi i Australia a noho ʻekolu lā ma ʻaneʻi me ka awelika o ka noho ʻana o 20 lā. A ʻoiai ua piʻi wikiwiki ka nui o nā Kina e hele mai ana i New Zealand i ka lā hoʻomaha, ua hāʻule kā lākou hoʻolimalima.
I ka makahiki 2004, ua hoʻohana ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi mai Kina i $353 miliona ma New Zealand akā i ka makahiki a hiki i Iune 2008 ua hāʻule i $261 miliona, ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi ma mua o ka $426 miliona i hoʻolilo ʻia e nā mākaʻikaʻi Iapana.
Wahi a ka poʻe loea o ka ʻoihana mākaʻikaʻi, ʻo ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana ma muli o ka liʻiliʻi o nā Kina i hele mai i ʻaneʻi no ka hoʻonaʻauao.
Akā ʻōlelo nā mea hoʻohana ʻaʻole lākou e ʻike i nā pōmaikaʻi kālā a i ʻole nā helu i hoʻonui ʻia no ka mea ke hoʻolele ʻia nei nā malihini Kina i nā huakaʻi kūʻai kūʻai kiʻekiʻe a ʻike ʻia e pili ana i ke kumukūʻai ma mua o ka ʻike.
ʻO Graeme West, ka luna kūʻai a me ke kūʻai aku ʻana no Discover Waitomo, kahi mahele o Tourism Holdings, i ʻōlelo ʻia ua loaʻa ʻo Waitomo Caves i kahi kaua kumukūʻai ma waena o nā hui huakaʻi huakaʻi Kina.
"Ua haʻalele kekahi iā ia i mea e mālama ai i ka manawa a me ke kālā a i ka manawa i hoʻokuʻu ai kekahi mea hoʻohana i nā mea ʻē aʻe e hahai i ka hoʻokūkū."
Ua hele ʻo West i Shanghai i kēia manawa no ka hele ʻana i ka hoʻolaha kalepa ʻo Tourism New Zealand's Asia Kiwilink a e ʻike hou aku e pili ana i ka mākeke Kina mai nā mea kūʻai kūʻai kūʻai nui Kina.
Ua haʻi ʻia ʻo ia he pipiʻi nui ʻo Waitomo a mamao loa i ke ala no nā huakaʻi e kipa aku ai.
"Ua ʻike mākou e hiki mai ana akā he mea wehe ke kamaʻilio pololei me lākou."
E hoʻoholo ʻo Tourism Holdings i ka mahina aʻe e hoʻomau i ka ʻimi ʻana i ka mākeke Kina.
"ʻAʻole hiki iā mākou ke hele i waho ma nā wahi āpau - pono mākou e kuhikuhi i kahi a mākou e manaʻo ai e hiki iā mākou ke loaʻa ka pahu nui loa no kā mākou kālā. Aia ka makeke. Akā makemake mākou i ka hua a ka mākeke e hāʻawi nei?
ʻO Rob Finlayson, ka luna kūʻai kūʻai ma waena o North Island no Ngai Tahu Tourism, ke nānā nei i nā pūnāwai ānuenue o Rotorua, Kiwi Encounter a me Hukafall Jet waʻa. ʻŌlelo ʻo ia he manaʻo kamaʻāina. "ʻO ka Agridome a me Te Puia wale nō kā lākou hana."
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia inā ʻoki ʻo ia i kāna mau kumukūʻai i ka hapalua ʻaʻole naʻe lākou e huki i nā malihini Kina no ka mea "i ka hopena o ka lā pono lākou e hoʻokomo i ʻelua mau mea hoihoi uku".
“Hiki iā ʻoe ke kūʻai aku i kahi noho a i kahi moe hoʻokahi wale nō. Inā hoʻopiha ʻia e kekahi e uku ana i kahi hua haʻahaʻa, paʻakikī ka loaʻa kālā. He mea hilahila, akā, ʻo ia nā mea a pau i ke kumu kūʻai.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Glenn Phipps, ka luna kūʻai ʻāina ʻo Rydges Hotel ʻehā, ʻoiai ka ulu ʻana o ka poʻe malihini mai Kina, ʻaʻole ʻo ia i loaʻa ka piʻi nui i loko o ʻehā a ʻelima mau makahiki. "Ua loaʻa paha iā mākou ka ulu nui o ka Kina e hele mai nei.
"Akā ke hōʻoiaʻiʻo nei au iā ʻoe ʻaʻole i ulu kā mākou loaʻa kālā a me ka ulu ʻana e like me nā kumukūʻai o ka holo ʻana i kahi hōkele."
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Tourism New Zealand ua ʻike ʻo ia i nā pilikia a ke hana ikaika nei e hoʻoponopono iā lākou.
I ka mahina o Nowemapa i hala, ua lawe ʻo ia i ka mākaʻikaʻi ʻana i nā mea hoʻokele kaʻahele i loko e hoʻokipa ana i nā hui huakaʻi Kina, a ma ʻApelila i hoʻolaha ai i kāna hoʻolaha hoʻolaha hoʻolaha mua i manaʻo ʻia e nā mea kūʻai aku ma Shanghai e paipai i nā huakaʻi kūʻokoʻa waiwai e hele mai i New Zealand.
I kēia mau lā, ua kōkua ʻo ia ma kahi o 40 mau ʻoihana mākaʻikaʻi o New Zealand e huakaʻi i Shanghai, kahi i hui ai lākou me nā mea kūʻai mai ʻAsia i kōkua iā lākou e ʻike i ka mākeke Kina.
Wahi a ka luna nui o Tourism New Zealand, ʻo Tim Hunter, ua nui nā paʻakikī i ka hoʻāʻo ʻana e kiʻi i nā ʻoihana o Aotearoa e kūʻai aku iā lākou iho ma Kina.
"ʻAʻole hiki i kekahi ke hana i kahi mākeke ʻoi aku ka nui, ʻōlelo kekahi he nui ka pilikia o ka ʻoihana a me ka hoʻokūkū a ʻōlelo paha ʻaʻole e launa pū kā lākou mau malihini ʻē aʻe me kā lākou mau malihini ʻAsia."
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia ua hoʻolālā ʻia ʻo Kiwilink e lawe i ka hoʻopili maikaʻi a hoʻomaikaʻi i nā pilina. "ʻAʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke hana i nā ʻoihana āpau ma ka pūnaewele."
Ua manaʻoʻiʻo ʻo ia ua kōkua nā lula ʻoi aku ka paʻakikī no nā mea hoʻokele kaʻapuni i ka hoʻomaikaʻi ʻana i nā alahele o nā mākaʻikaʻi Kina a hoʻonui i ka nui o nā ʻoihana e pōmaikaʻi ana iā lākou.
Pono nā mea hoʻohana a pau i kēia manawa i kahi hōʻike hoʻokele kūpono a kūpono. Pono nā mākaʻikaʻi e hele i kahi liʻiliʻi o ʻelua mau mea hoihoi i uku ʻia a ʻaʻole pono e hoʻolimalima ʻoi aku ma mua o 1 1/2 mau hola ma ke kūʻai aku ʻana i ka lā.
ʻO nā koi liʻiliʻi e noho ai ma ka liʻiliʻi he ʻekolu-hōkū qualmark hotel maʻamau a me nā kūlana halihali e hiki mai ana i ka lā 1 Dekemaba.
Pono nā mea hoʻohana e haʻi i ka nui o kā lākou uku ʻia e nā mea hoʻokele huakaʻi inbound ma Kina.
Wahi a Hunter ke hāʻawi nei ʻo Tourism New Zealand i kahi helu 0800 no ka poʻe malihini ma Mandarin a lawe pū kekahi i kahi papahana kūʻai pohihihi.
ʻO ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana ua hopena i kekahi mau mea hoʻohana i hoʻopaʻa ʻia a hoʻopaʻa ʻia paha. ʻElua mau mea hoʻohana i noi no ka laikini akā ʻaʻole i hiki i ke kahua o ka ʻae ʻia.
Aia ma kahi o 20 mau mea hana i ʻae ʻia ma New Zealand. Akā mau nā pilikia.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Hunter hoʻokahi pilikia i ʻae ʻia nā mea hoʻohana e kūʻai aku i ka hoʻohana ʻana i ko lākou inoa i kahi mea hana ʻole i ʻae ʻia, i mea e ʻae ʻia ai nā noi visa.
"Ua nui loa ia ma New Zealand. Akā i kēia manawa ua loaʻa iā mākou kahi ʻōnaehana i kahi ʻoi aku ka nui o ka manawa e kiʻi ai. "
ʻO ka pilikia nui ʻē aʻe, ʻoiai hiki i nā mea hana ke hoʻonohonoho i kahi huakaʻi, ʻaʻole lākou e hahai maoli a noho paha i nā hōkele a lākou i kuhikuhi ai.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Hunter ua like nā pilikia me ka mea i hana ʻia i ka wā hou o ka mākeke Korea i New Zealand.
"Akā ma muli o ka manawa ua ʻoi aku ka ʻike o ka poʻe Korea - ua hoʻōki lākou i ke kūʻai ʻana a waiho i nā mea hana me ka hapa o ka loaʻa kālā."
Ua ʻike ia i nā mea hoʻohana ma Australia e hoʻonui i kā lākou huakaʻi huakaʻi ma 50 a 100 pākēneka i ka makahiki i hala a ua wikiwiki nā mea hoʻokele o New Zealand e hahai i kēia.
I ka makahiki i hala aku nei, ua noiʻi ʻia ʻo KTOC, ka Korean Tour Operators Council of New Zealand, e ke Kōmike Kālepa no ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana i ke kumukūʻai akā ua hāʻawi ʻia i kahi rap ma nā puʻupuʻu.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Hunter ʻaʻole lākou i hoʻohālikelike ʻia no ka mea ʻaʻole i hoʻopilikia ʻia nā mea kūʻai aku o Aotearoa.
Akā, ua ʻike ka piʻi ʻana o ke kumukūʻai i ka hāʻule ʻana o 20 a 30 pakeneka o ka nui o nā mākaʻikaʻi Korea e hele mai nei. "Ua hōʻeha maoli ia i ka nui o ka mākeke akā pono ia e hana," wahi āna.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Hunter ke ʻimi nei ʻo New Zealand e hoʻolauna i kāna kānāwai ponoʻī e hoʻopaʻa i nā kānāwai e pili ana i nā mea hana Kina a me New Zealand. ʻO ia ke kuleana e kāpae i ka hāʻawi ʻia ʻana o nā visa i nā hui Kina.
"He kūlana koʻikoʻi kēia akā manaʻo mākou he mea pono ia no ka mea he nui nā pilikia i loaʻa mai nā mea hana Kina i mālama ʻole i ka ʻike o Kina ma New Zealand."
Ke hana nei ʻo New Zealand i ka hoʻomaikaʻi ʻana i ke kūlana no ka poʻe e noi ana i nā visa huakaʻi kūʻokoʻa. Ua hoʻomaka ʻia kēia mau mea ma Sepatemaba ma Shanghai a e loaʻa nō hoʻi i Beijing i kēia mahina aʻe.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Air New Zealand group manager international airlines Ed Simms e pono e noʻonoʻo ka poʻe ʻoihana mākaʻikaʻi o New Zealand iā Kina me nā mākeke ʻē aʻe, ma muli o ke kūlana paʻakikī e pili ana i ka ʻoihana.
"He naʻaupō ka ʻoihana inā manaʻo lākou e ola koke nā kumu kuʻuna e like me UK a me US. Inā e nānā au iā Kina, manaʻo wau e ʻoi aku ka wikiwiki o ka ulu ʻana.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia e kokoke ana ʻo Australia e kau i kāna hoʻolaha ponoʻī ma Kina i ka pane ʻana i ka hāʻule ʻana o nā helu malihini kipa i hoʻokumu ʻia e ka ōlaʻi ʻo Sichuan a me nā Pāʻani ʻOlumepika ʻo Beijing.
"Aia ka pilikia maoli inā hilinaʻi mākou i ka Tourism New Zealand ma kona ʻano ponoʻī - aia lākou i kēia manawa kahi kūʻai kūʻai e like me South Australia."
Manaʻo ʻo Simms he pōkole ka ʻike ʻana o nā mea hana i ka nānā ʻana i nā hua haʻahaʻa o kēia manawa.
"I kēia manawa he 63 pākēneka e hele mai ma Australia, 27 pākēneka ma nā huakaʻi hui a he 10 pākēneka wale nō ka poʻe huakaʻi kūʻokoʻa holoʻokoʻa ma ka hopena kiʻekiʻe o ka hoʻolimalima."
