About this dataset
Each year MBIE produces this report to inform and support planning and investment decisions in the tourism industry. The forecasts are based on econometric modelling, current trends and best available forecasts of international factors and have been developed with input from members of the tourism industry.
Method of collection/Data provider
The historical data from 1979 to 2018 is based on the International Travel and Migration data collection (arrivals and length of stay) and the International Visitor Survey (spend only).
The forecast data from 2019 to 2025 is updated annually. The forecasts are based on econometric modelling, current trends and best available predictions of international factors. They provide a baseline for what will happen ‘if things keep going this way’. The forecasts are subject to the global situation. The data provider has modelled a range of possible outcomes and present an average of these. The actual values in the future are likely to deviate from the modelled average.
