Fodor's Essential New Zealand (Full-Color Travel Guide) (Paperback)

Description

COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE:

• Fodor's new edition will be published soon after international travel recommences to New Zealand in 2022, making it among the first post-pandemic travel guides to the destination.
• The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and 2021 caused a steep drop-off in tourism to many destinations (New Zealand has effectively cancelled all international travel there for most of 2020 and 2021), but surveys have shown an ongoing interest in international travel once it becomes safe again. The number of Americans traveling overseas is expected to increase in mid-2021, once vaccinations have been administered to a wide variety of people.

TOURISM TRENDS:

• New Zealand cautiously began allowing travelers from Australia in April 2021, but the country opened up tourism to domestic travelers in the fall of 2020.
• Even as international tourism was closed, the country has maintained a strong digital presence to maintain interest in the destination for international travelers
• The number of American visitors to New Zealand was on the rise through 2019, and that interest is expected to return once international travel recommences in full
