3 Preface International Visitor Arrivals to New Zealand is produced by Statistics New Zealand and sponsored by Tourism New Zealand. It is a monthly report that includes detailed tables and graphs of monthly and annual data showing the number and characteristics of visitor arrivals. Most of the data is presented by country, for a selection of major source countries of visitors to New Zealand. Visitor arrival data comes from Statistics NZ's International Travel and Migration dataset. This dataset is derived from information contained in electronic records supplied by the New Zealand Customs Service, as well as from arrival and departure cards completed by passengers. This report contains statistics on short-term overseas visitor arrivals, defined as overseas residents arriving in New Zealand for a stay of less than 12 months. 3

5 Notes International travel and migration data Visitor arrival data comes from Statistics NZ's International Travel and Migration dataset. This dataset is derived from information contained in electronic records supplied by the New Zealand Customs Service, as well as from arrival and departure cards completed by passengers. Statistics NZ processes all arrival and departure cards, and assigns a passenger type to each. These passenger types are short-term overseas visitor, short-term New Zealand-resident traveller, and permanent and long-term migrant. This report contains statistics on short-term overseas visitor arrivals, defined as overseas residents arriving in New Zealand for a stay of less than 12 months. Information derived from arrival and departure cards, including passenger type, is captured automatically for nine out of 1 records by Statistics NZ's imaging system. The statistics in this report are based on final counts. They relate to the number of passenger movements, rather than to the number of people that is, the multiple movements of individual people during a given reference period are each counted separately. Sampling error Visitor arrival totals published in this report are actual counts. However, all other figures are derived from only a sample of arrivals, and hence may contain sampling error. Caution should be used when interpreting small numbers where sampling error may exist. Selection of data published in this report Because of sampling error, as well as the size limitations of the tables, categories within some variables have only been included if they meet certain limits. The rules for inclusion depend on the variable. In the key characteristics tables for each country, the restrictions are: Purpose: Five categories (holiday, visiting friends & relatives, business, education, and conferences & conventions) are always shown, so the travel purpose graph is consistent between countries. The 'other' and 'not stated' categories are not shown. New Zealand port: There must be 5 or more arrivals in the most recent time period, or an average of 5 or more over the last two periods. A minimum of one NZ port must be included, with a maximum of eight NZ ports. Closest port of flight: There must be 5 or more arrivals in the most recent time period, or an average of 5 or more over the last two periods. A minimum of one overseas port must be included, with a maximum of 1 overseas ports. Citizenship: There must be 5 or more arrivals in the most recent time period, or an average of 5 or more over the last two periods. A minimum of one citizenship must be included, with a maximum of four citizenships. State/province: There must be 5 or more arrivals from that province in the most recent time period, or an average of 5 or more over the last two periods. At least three states/provinces must be included for each country, as well as the 'not stated' category. The not stated category is included because of a high rate of non-response to this question from some countries. 5

Country of residence: the country where the person last resided for 12 months or more before visiting New Zealand. New Zealand port: the New Zealand port where a passenger was processed by Customs.

Closest port of flight: the last overseas airport of the passenger's flight before arriving into New Zealand. This may not be the person's port of origin, as they may have boarded the aircraft at an earlier port, or come from another port on a connecting flight.

Visitors who depart before processing of their month of arrival has been completed have their length of stay recalculated based on their actual stay.
