International travel
International travel and migration statistics count passengers arriving into and departing from New Zealand. Passengers are split into one of three passenger types: overseas visitors, New Zealand-resident travellers, and permanent and long-term migrants.
Arrivals and departures of overseas visitors and New Zealand resident travellers are key indicators of tourism and travel. The International travel statistics measures international visitor arrivals into New Zealand, and collects data on their origin, purpose of visit, intended length of stay, age, gender and port of arrival.
Access to the data was provided by Statistics New Zealand under conditions designed to give effect to the security provisions of the Statistics Act 1975.
