Visitors spending increases 31 per cent from 2014
Every week there seems to be new data depicting the exponential rise of international visitors to NZ and this week is no exception. According to a recent survey, spending by international visitors has increased by 31 per cent since 2014.
Visitors from Australia, China and the US are our largest markets, spending $2.4bn, $1.6bn and $1bn respectively.
Associate Tourism Minister Paula Bennett told Newshub that this is further evidence of tourism’s burgeoning success.
“It’s now worth $10.6bn, or nearly five percent of our GDP, and one in every eight people employed are now directly or indirectly related to tourism,” she said.
