File photoA hospitality expert is warning that the industry will not survive the latest lockdown if the Government fails to intervene. Hospitality New Zealand chief executive officer Julie White is describing the situation the industry is facing as dire. "I have never seen the industry under so much pressure - it's really dire and unless the Government steps up we will have carnage in this industry," she said. It follows White receiving multiple calls over the weekend from Hospitality New Zealand members crying out for help. He suspects there will be a significant backlash from the hospitality industry.
