Anna Kominik, Asia Pacific Region Director for Wisk, said NZ should make a similar move and told the Herald the Government should also introduce a business-specific MIQ system. Earlier, Kominik posted to LinkedIn: "Wisk NZ is looking to do critical research with the NZ Government that will support the fast-growing aerospace industry in New Zealand. Social media was filled with rage posts after the new "virtual lobby" MIQ booking system went live yesterday. After the final washup, MIQ joint head Megan Main said, "Today 5364 people from 117 countries managed to secure MIQ vouchers – that's 3205 rooms. Main also cautioned, "Although the new lobby system should improve user experience, it is not a silver bullet — it will not fix the issue of supply and demand."
