The idea was revealed in a Facebook Live video by the country's prime minister, Jacinda Ardern, as a way to help the industry recover after the COVID-19 pandemic.

Some beloved practices have to be shelved - goodbye buffet breakfasts - and new protocols introduced to ensure that travellers and staff feel safe and protected.
