Accommodation Survey

The new accommodation survey will have a bigger industry focus, according to the survey’s new provider Fresh Info.

The successor to the Accommodation Survey will aim to provide guest nights, occupancy rates and establishments, broken down by geography, at a minimum, according to the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment.

Southern regions drove international guests nights over the top of domestic in February for the first time in eight years.

School holidays, good weather and a longer ski season saw total guest nights from across New Zealand rise to 3.15 million in October, up 4.8% on the same month last year.
