Profiles of New Zealand's international visitor markets released

In June 2009 the New Zealand Ministry of Tourism released 4-page market profiles of nine of New Zealand's key inbound international visitor markets together with an overall profile.

Eight of these key markets provide 77% of New Zealand's visitors, while 69% of all visitors arrive at Auckland International Airport (AKL).

The profiles also highlight the seasonality of the travel patterns and, with the exception of the Australian market, the significance of dual destination travel (visitors stopping in another country enroute to or from New Zealand).
