Executive summary

New Zealanders stay put

The global recession made more New Zealanders become careful with their spending. They also became less confident about spending on travel when unemployment rose and their country’s export earnings dropped. As a result, they increasingly settled for either avoiding holidays, or opting to travel to familiar, rather than exotic destinations. Familiar trips such as staying in campsites, rented homes and campervans, used rail and bus services, visiting museums and days spas were the sectors which bucked the trend of slow performance, as despite more careful spending, many consumers learned to appreciate the attractions that their own country had to offer.

Swine flu hinders arrivals but Australian visitors come to the rescue

The swine flu scare and the global recession deterred many high spending international visitors from visiting New Zealand. Major revenues were lost as bookings were cancelled in the UK, the US, Japan and South Korea. To compensate for the drop in visitor numbers from these countries, Tourism New Zealand advertised more in Australia, and cheap airfares further ensured the campaign’s success. The rise in visitor numbers from Australia as a result of this helped many operators to stay open during 2009.

India becomes a promising new market

The number of holiday makers from India grew in 2009, despite the overall drop in visitor numbers. The lack of convenient flight routes rather than the recession would be the only reasons why Indians would not visit New Zealand. Honeymooners and large families were drawn to New Zealand’s beautiful scenery. The professionalism displayed by adventure tour operators appealed to outdoor enthusiasts from India.

Last-minute bookings become the norm

The entry of low-cost carriers, coupled with their strategy of offering vastly discounted airfares at short notice, led to a rise in last-minute bookings, not only for the low-cost carriers, but also for hotels and some tour operators across the country. Hotel, car rental and tour operators have seen a rise in guests who would book a room a few days before arrival. The introduction of on-line booking systems via mobile phones did not encourage forward planning among New Zealanders. All operators in the tourism industry learned to become more flexible in 2009.

Optimism in anticipation of the Rugby World Cup in 2011

More operators in the tourism industry are optimistic about tourism growth during the Rugby World Cup in 2011. Hotel and accommodation operators are anticipating high occupancy rates. Tour operators are already receiving enquiries from fans of rugby teams in Europe. Many were operating during the Lions Tour in 2003 and the America’s Cup in 2000 and have the experience handling large number of guests and customers. Operators are hopeful that the success in these events will be replicated during the Rugby World Cup.
