NZ visitor arrivals up by 2.1% from March

In a stunning turnaround, the New Zealand tourist sector has recorded a 2.1% increase from the March quarter. This important sector makes up roughly 10% of New Zealand's now booming economy.

This rise was mainly recorded in short-term arrivals to New Zealand. The April quarter also saw new permanent arrivals to New Zealand exceed departures from New Zealand.

This news will boost the consumer spending sector which roughly makes up 60% of the country's economy.
