New Zealand scenery is exceptional, as the Lord of the Rings proved, and includes some of the best wilderness walking itineraries in the world.
New Zealand scenery is exceptional, as the Lord of the Rings proved, and includes some of the best wilderness walking itineraries in the world. The major cities, though small by European and American standards, are cosmopolitan and sophisticated. Christchurch is being developed as a second gateway that will offer easier access to the South Island.
Geo thermal sites remain a popular attraction, closely followed by beaches. Luxury lodge style accommodation is attracting an increasing number of guests. Themed highway such as the Southern Scenic Route, the Thermal Explorer and the Twin Coast Discovery Highway are also being promoted. The current government tourism forecast predicts that international visitor arrivals will increase by about 38% by 2011, although the average length of stay is projected to fall slightly to 18.5 nights.
Australasia and Oceania occupies only 6.3% of the world’s land area and is home to only 0.5% of its population. Travel to and within the region is time consuming and relatively expensive, but physically distance may help protect it from some of the world’s worst problems. Throughout Australia, New Zealand and the islands of the Pacific crime levels are lower than those in most other countries.
Australia is 30 times the size of United Kingdom yet has less than a third of its population. Europeans, in spite of the long flights times, visit Australia for its sun drenched Pacific beaches, Great Barrier Reef, exciting cosmopolitan cities and to reunite with family and friends. New Zealand’s stunning scenery has been given worldwide exposure by the Lord of the Rings films. The island of French Polynesia is spread over an area of ocean about the size of Western Europe and offers a truly tropical taste.
