Holiday parks are central to driving sustainable regional tourism growth, says Holiday Parks New Zealand, as statistics show holiday parks now host more than 8 million guest nights per year.
The latest Statistics New Zealand figures indicate that over the year ended February 2018, guests spent 8,019,234 nights at holiday parks in New Zealand, 20.2% of total guest nights and 4.5% up on the previous year, a growth rate ahead of other sectors.
“Holiday parks provide a large proportion of regional New Zealand guest nights and are an important part of regional economic development,” says Holiday Parks New Zealand Chief Executive Fergus Brown.
