New Zealand's tourism rebound continues to gain pace
23 January 2026
Stats NZ figures show more than 347-thousand overseas travellers visited in November - up more than 26-thousand on November 2024.
That's 93-percent of pre-covid levels - in 2019.
Tourism Holdings Limited CEO Grant Webster says there will be more good results to come - as visitor numbers will likely surge through January and February.
He says recovery is naturally happening - and we're expected to inch back up to pre-covid numbers within the next 12 months
