New Zealanders Take 3 Million Overseas Trips
New Zealand residents arrived back from 3.01 million short-term overseas trips (of less than 12 months) in the March 2025 year, according to data released by Stats NZ today.
March 2025 is the first annual period to exceed 3 million arrivals by New Zealand-resident travellers since March 2020 (3.05 million), and was up from 2.84 million in the March 2024 year.
“The number of short-term overseas trips by New Zealand residents climbed 6 percent in the March 2025 year, compared to the year before,” international travel spokesperson Sarah Drake said.
“The increase was mainly driven by more trips to Australia, as well as Indonesia, China, and Japan.”
