A health and safety lawyer thinks adventure tourism will continue after the Worksafe Whakaari White Island court case
1 December 2020
Worksafe is charging 13 parties in relation to the eruption last December that claimed 22 lives.
A court date is set for December 15.
Duncan Cotterill partner Olivia Lund says a guilty verdict wouldn't necessarily impact the entire adventure tourism sector.
She says there's a sweet spot of perceived risk being high - but actual risk being low.
Lund says that does depend on having good safety standards and effective risk management in place.
