The New Zealand government said on Wednesday it would not require travelers from China to produce a negative Covid-19 test, bucking a trend that has seen a number of nations implement such measures as cases surge in China.
This New Zealand City Is Hiring Americans — and There Are 3,000 Jobs to Choose From
06.08.2023 - 14:31 / travelandleisure.com
Calling all job hunters: the city of Wellington, New Zealand, is welcoming Americans to move and work in the county's capital — touting its great work/life balance.
The Kiwi city, which sits on the southern tip of the country’s North Island, is holding a recruitment campaign dubbed «ESC to Wellington,» the tourism board shared with Travel + Leisure. The city even set up a giant “esc” computer key in New York City to drive the point home.
«With opportunities to work in tech, business, and more, this compact and connected capital city is a place of, and for, change — a region of diverse communities, landscapes, and day-to-day experiences offering a real work-life balance. Or, as we like to call it, life-work balance,” John Allen, the WellingtonNZ CEO, said in a statement provided to T+L.
Allen added the city wants “people in New York, across the U.S., and [the] world, to reflect on where they want to be and to consider Wellington a place to fulfill their career and lifestyle ambitions in equal measure.”

Currently, there are more than 3,000 job openings up for grabs in Wellington, which wannabe-expats can search online. These are in popular fields like film, tech, health, education, and more.
To show off Wellington as a desirable place to work, the city is touting its low cost of living and salary-to-housing-affordability ratio (about 22 percent of the average income goes to rent). Plus, Wellington was one of T+L readers’ favorite cities in all of Australia, New Zealand, and the South Pacific.
New Zealand is also easier than ever to get to thanks to new direct flights to Auckland from New York on both Qantas and Air New Zealand. Air New Zealand also flies direct from Houston, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, and Honolulu.

The Best Things to Do in Wellington, New Zealand
It's a city that's famously blustery, hilly, and wet—but a common refrain among Wellingtonians is that you can’t beat Wellington on a good day. And they have a point: New Zealand’s compact capital is a picturesque city, curled around a sparkling harbor notched into the very bottom of the North Island. Emerald hills rise around the center, and bright, weatherboard villas spill down their steep slopes to meet the waterfront.

The Best Things to Do in Auckland, New Zealand After the Women's World Cup
Auckland is a city with many faces. Known locally by its Māori name, Tāmaki Makaurau, the city has a cosmopolitan heart with some of the best dining, drinking, and shopping in the country. Yet, urban sprawl quickly gives way to landscapes of New Zealand’s signature beauty here; to the west, the forested hills of the Waitākere Ranges border black sand beaches pummeled by surf. To the east of the city is the island-studded Waitematā Harbor.
