Kiwi Tourism industry gets summer boom

Friday, 17 Jan, 2007 0

It appears that New Zealand’s growing reputation as a hot holiday destination is seen as the reason their tourism industry is breaking records, with the Christmas-New Year period one of the most successful on record, with places like Northland, Gisborne and the West Coast doing particularly well.

Tourism Industry Association Chief Executive Fiona Luhrs says word of mouth is working to bring people to New Zealand, with the people working in the tourism industry getting better and better at providing services with people having a wonderful time here, despite the weather.

Ms Luhrs says the best is yet to come, with the busiest months generally being February and March.
