We advise the Government on growing and managing tourism in New Zealand, to support our economy and regions. Tourism benefits our local communities and businesses. It supports people-to-people connections and fosters a shared sense of national pride and delivers economic benefits through job creation, regional development, and increased spending in local economies.

As part of our ongoing commitment to supporting tourism research, this page provides the International Visitor Survey (IVS) microdata.

The International Visitor Survey (IVS) measures the expenditure, characteristics, and behaviours of international visitors to New Zealand.
