Earlier this week, New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said she was willing to look at re-establishing flights between Australia and New Zealand on a state-by-state basis.

Hobart Airport acting chief executive Mark Cocker backed this approach.

"With the unfortunately rapidly deteriorating situation in Victoria, it makes sense for us to now turn our eyes to a travel bubble with places like New Zealand rather than attempt to wait out the Victorian crisis before acting," Mr Cocker said.

"This is a fantastic opportunity for Tasmania to get a clear advantage on other states and it's clear that direct flights with New Zealand would help with the huge task of rebuilding our economy.

"An economic study completed prior to the impact of COVID-19 found that international flights into Hobart, including New Zealand, could increase tourism spending by up to $120 million per annum, creating an additional 600 (FTE) direct jobs."

New Zealand has a population of 4.8 million people, and before COVID-19 about 20,000 New Zealanders were visiting Tasmania every year.

Tourism Tasmania chief executive John Fitzgerald said last month the body was planning a tourism campaign for New Zealand which would go ahead when travel was again allowed between the two countries.

Meanwhile, Premier Peter Gutwein will announce after a meeting of National Cabinet today which jurisdictions Tasmania will open its borders to on July 24.

Jurisdictions like South Australia, the Northern Territory and Queensland appear to be in the clear for reopening, however doubt has been cast over whether NSW would be included with Mr Gutwein acknowledging on Thursday there were challenges in the state.

Reopening to Victoria has already been ruled out.
