Agency owner has faith in travel rebound

While the pandemic had been "incredibly tough for the travel sector" - "no question about it" - and he had to let go some very good staff, he remained upbeat about the future.

"It is very clear to the team and I that there is a lot of pent-up demand for travel and Kiwis are itching to be able to get overseas as soon as it is safe to do so," Mr Boomer, who bought House of Travel Dunedin City earlier this year, said.

Travel would be complex and many customers recognised that; they wanted to know they had the support of an agent as they tentatively dipped their toes into international travel again.

The worst part was the uncertainty, but "it’s coming; we know it’s coming; we’re heading down that track really quickly now", he said.

Cruising figures were up, and UK and US travel agents were "beside themselves" with work. Recently, he had had inquiries for an Antarctic cruise, a trip to Turkey and the Inca Trail.

Many people were also still investing in travel; the cruise sector was still building new ships and touring companies were very upbeat.

While he acknowledged some people would be nervous about travel, he believed it was about having the right headspace.

Some would want to go on a beach holiday and relax, while others wanted something to do. It was well established that holidays were good for mental health, he said.

He headed off on his OE around Europe in 1987 and "couldn’t get enough of it". Returning home, he saved for a trip from Nepal to Zimbabwe.

He then got a job with a company he travelled with, spending the next 10 or so years driving overland in the likes of Africa, Asia and South America.

Returning to New Zealand in about 2000, he got into travel-related business and eventually joined House of Travel.

Later, taking on a retail manager role provided a grounding for eventually buying a business.

"I’ve been in this industry since the ’80s and with House of Travel since 2005.

"I love travel - I don’t want to do anything else. It is an incredibly fun industry to be in - even now, it’s still a thrill to be able to help," he said.

As well as looking after clients from Dunedin, he and his team of three also serviced North Otago.

"We were really busy up until this recent lockdown - people were eager to get to Australia and Rarotonga, whether it be to see family or to just take a bit of a break," he said.

Knowing when travel would likely open up again would be good. He believed the early part of next year would be uncertain for the travel industry and then confidence would improve.

Let’s connect.

Lovely to meet you

I have had the travel bug ever since I went on my first family holiday to the Gold Coast when I was a little girl, now I am always planning and looking at my next holiday destination.

Planning your holiday is nearly as exciting as visiting the destination. . . . . .

Should I fly ? or should I take that overnight train ? With my 13 years of knowledge and experience, let me take the hassle out of finding those answers and lets work together to make your holiday one that you will remember forever.

I love travel experiences that bring you closer to the destination and include experiences that make that trip that little more memorable.

My favourite holiday memories

A must do in Rarotonga, visiting the Punanga Nui Markets. 

A must do in Amsterdam.

Feel in love with Venice.

ASIA : Singapore | Thailand | Vietnam/Cambodia/Laos AUSTRALIA : Brisbane | Gold Coast | Melbourne, Victoria |Sunshine Coast | Sydney, New South Wales NORTH AMERICA : Hawai`i | USA SOUTH PACIFIC : Fiji | Rarotonga, Cook Islands  UK/EUROPE : Czech Republic | Germany | Ireland | England | France | Italy | Netherlands | Switzerland

My travel stories

Postcards from Vietnam

I flew with Air New Zealand and Singapore Airlines to Vietnam via Singapore. We took advantage of the Singapore Airlines Stopover package. This package entitles you to a range of attractions for free, like the Gardens by the Bay including the Cloud Forest and Flower Dome.

Postcard from Rarotonga

Rarotonga.....

Arrived in Rarotonga and blasted with the heat as soon as my foot took that first step off the plane. Took a couple of minutes to get through immigration and 45 minutes waiting for our bags. A great welcome into Rarotonga airport with an elderly gentleman entertaining us with his guitar and voice which apparently has welcomed every flight into Rarotonga for the last 30 years.

Who is JD Vance? What to know about Donald Trump's VP pick

Former President Donald Trump  tapped JD Vance  to be his running mate at the Republican National Convention , catapulting the Ohio GOP senator even more into the national spotlight.

Here’s what you need to know about Vance.

More: Trump made MAGA happen. JD Vance represents those who will inherit it

Where is JD Vance from?

Vance grew up in Jackson, Kentucky and Middletown, Ohio. He described a childhood consumed by poverty and abuse in his best-selling 2016 memoir , "Hillbilly Elegy." Vance's mother struggled with drug addiction, so he spent many of his formative years with his grandmother – known to him as Mamaw.

How old is JD Vance?

Vance is 39. If elected, he would be the youngest vice president since Richard Nixon. His birthday is Aug. 2, 1984.

Did JD Vance serve in the military?

Vance joined the Marines Corps after high school and served as a public affairs marine in Iraq.

Is JD Vance married?

Vance's wife, Usha Vance, is a litigator for a law firm based in San Francisco and Washington, D.C. The pair met as students at Yale Law School and got married in 2014, one year after they graduated.

The couple has three young children: Ewan, Vivek and Mirabel.

Where does JD Vance live?

Vance and his family live in the East Walnut Hills neighborhood of Cincinnati. The senator also bought a $1.5 million home in Alexandria, Virginia, last year, Politico reported .

How long has JD Vance been in politics?

Vance was first elected to the U.S. Senate in 2022 after defeating former Democratic Rep. Tim Ryan for an open seat in Ohio.

What’s the history between Vance and Trump?

Vance openly criticized Trump in 2016 as pundits used his memoir to explain the former president's popularity with white, rural voters. He previously suggested Trump could be "America’s Hitler," called him noxious and compared him to an opioid.

But Vance changed his tune as he geared up for his 2022 Senate run, deleting controversial tweets and crediting Trump for the work he did in office. He secured Trump's endorsement in a chaotic Republican Senate primary and is now one of the former president's most loyal allies.

JD Vance didn't vote for Donald Trump in 2016

In one NPR interview , he joked that he would rather write his dog on the ballot than vote for Trump or Hillary Clinton.

"I think that I'm going to vote third party because I can't stomach Trump," the "Hillbilly Elegy" author said at the time. "I think that he's noxious and is leading the white working class to a very dark place."

What are Vance's policy positions?

Vance personifies what's known as the New Right , a populist conservatism that rejects many traditional Republican views. He supports tariffs on trade and opposes U.S. intervention in foreign conflicts, particularly the war between Russia and Ukraine. He's also spoken out against potential cuts to Social Security.

Some of Vance's work in the Senate has been bipartisan. He introduced a rail safety bill with Sen. Sherrod Brown after the train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio. He also worked with Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren on legislation to hold executives accountable for failed banks.

At the same time, many of his other bills reflect conservative views. For example, Vance introduced legislation to ban gender-affirming care for minors and a bill to eliminate diversity programs in the federal government.

Where does JD Vance stand on abortion?

Vance opposes abortion and often says the government should find ways to encourage people to have children.

Like other Republicans, however, Vance changed how he discusses the issue after Ohio and other states voted in favor of abortion access last year. In a December CNN interview , he said Republicans must "accept that people do not want blanket abortion bans."

More recently, he told Meet the Press that he supports access to the abortion drug mifepristone.
