Rotorua is bracing for the prospect of school holidays without lucrative Auckland visitors if the supercity stays in super restrictive Covid-19 alert levels.
Auckland is in level 4 lockdown until at least 11:59pm Tuesday 21 September - when it will shift to level 3 barring any nasty surprises.
But how long it stays there is anyones guess and that means no travel.
