Swine flu panic sees tourists avoid NZ

New Zealand is seeing an influx in Australian visitors to the country, but is being shunned by the US, UK, Korea and Japan due to wide spread fears of swine flu.

Prime Minister John Key, who is also the Tourism Minister, says New Zealand is seeing only half as many Japanese and Korean tourists visiting the country.

He says visitors need to understand New Zealand is not unique in its swine flu exposure with nearly 100 countries now reporting cases of swine flu.
