Thank you for contacting Hon Stuart Nash, Minister for Economic and
Regional Development, Minister of Forestry, Minister for Small Business,
Minister of Tourism, and MP for Napier.

The Minister considers all correspondence important and appreciates you

processed as soon as possible and a staff member will be in contact with
you in due course.

·        Media queries will be responded to by a staff member.

·        Requests for official information will be managed in accordance
with the provisions of the Official Information Act 1982, which may
include transfer to a more relevant Minister or agency.

·        If your email falls outside of the Minister's portfolio
responsibilities, expresses a personal view, or is copied to multiple
Members of Parliament, then your opinion will be noted and your
correspondence may be transferred to another office, or there may be no
further response to you.

·        If your correspondence is to the Minister as the Member of
Parliament for Napier, please resend to stuart.nashmp@parliament,govt.nz

Dear Micky

I refer to your request of 8 April which reads as follows:

"Can you please forward all documentation the Labour Government has regarding a 'Taiwan & New Zealand Travel Bubble' from 1 April 2020 until now?

Please include all internal emails between Government Ministers/employees, as well as emails to and from Taiwanese (& Chinese) politicians/officials, NZ mayors, NZ tourism operators, NZ media & NZ journalists."

The Minister of Tourism believes that this information is more closely connected with the functions of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade.

I have therefore transferred your request to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade pursuant to section 14 of the Official Information Act 1982.

Kind regards

Anna Weir

Subject: Official Information request - Taiwan New Zealand Travel Bubble

Dear Stuart Nash,

New Zealand should of had a travel bubble in place with Taiwan since June 2020. There are 24 million Taiwanese and they spend a lot on overseas travel:

https://www.taiwannews.com.tw/en/news/37...(Taiwan%20News)%20%E2%80%93Taiwan,on%20Monday%20(July%2022).

I am curious to know why for the past year the Labour Government under Jacinda Ardern - has actively ignored the possibility of opening a Taiwan bubble.

Can you please forward all documentation the Labour Government has regarding a 'Taiwan & New Zealand Travel Bubble' from 1 April 2020 until now?

Please include all internal emails between Government Ministers/employees, as well as emails to and from Taiwanese (& Chinese) politicians/officials, NZ mayors, NZ tourism operators, NZ media & NZ journalists.

Yours faithfully,

Micky Turner
