Statistics are currently reported for areas represented by industry bodies known as Regional Tourism Organisations (RTOs). These areas generally align with local or regional council boundaries due to the way they are funded.

The accuracy of the ADP is dependent on the number of responses we receive to the monthly survey. Sample sizes vary by region and property type which has a corresponding impact on data quality at those levels. Robust statistical processes are used to transform the sample data into population estimates, but this does not resolve all of the sampling errors in the data.
Caution should be exercised when comparing these results with those of Stats NZ’s Accommodation Survey due to methodological differences including (but not limited to) coverage, the way capacity is calculated, and the way accommodation types are defined. The impact of these differences on published results is difficult to quantify at this stage. The origin of guest data is based on the best information available to tourism accommodation providers at the time of booking. There are known issues in the definition of international guests based on either usual residence or nationality.

The reported statistics are based on information provided by commercial accommodation providers with at least 6 (six) stay units.

The data excludes stay units occupied by emergency housing (MSD/WINZ), transitional housing (HUD), annual sites, and other permanent residents.
Managed Isolation and Quarantine hotels are also excluded.

Historical results were revised in February 2024.
