    Opotiki business owners are getting behind an iwi request to discourage visitors this summer

    Opotiki business owners are getting behind an iwi request to discourage visitors this summer


    The District Council and Te Whanau a Apanui are jointly asking would-be holiday makers to stay away.

    The iwi says it's to stop Covid spreading into tribal territories where there are many vulnerable Maori.

    Councillor and iwi leader Louis Rapihana says businesses have made a call themselves to close their campgrounds.

    He says Te Kaha Holiday Park, Hawai Bay Park and Maraehako Bay Park has been closed - all by the individual owners.
