International tourism forecasts
Pre-COVID-19 our tourism forecasts provided expectations on the future tourism demand in New Zealand. Closure of the New Zealand border in early 2020 has made forecasting challenging and given the lack of data and uncertainty around international travel, we decided to halt it. When reliable data is readily available, we will look to resume forecasting.
