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.
The International Visitor Survey is a key tool for monitoring and reporting on how the tourism system is performing. It measures the expenditure, characteristics and behaviours of international visitors to New Zealand, reporting them quarterly.
