Visitor arrivals to New Zealand jumped by 18.8% year-on-year to 267,300 in April 2025. The largest increases came from Australia (up 33,800), the United Kingdom (up 4,000), the United States (up 3,300), and Hong Kong (up 1,600), while arrivals from Indonesia declined by 1,100. The sharp rise in Australian visitors was partly influenced by the timing of school holidays and Easter. Despite the strong annual growth, total arrivals in April 2025 were still 13% below pre-pandemic levels, reaching 87% of the 307,400 recorded in April 2019.
