Sunday, June 16, 2024 Tourism in Queenstown is experiencing a remarkable surge, with visitor numbers rebounding nationwide, and booming particularly in this southern alpine resort town. Described as genuinely exceptional by neighboring Australians, Queenstown draws thousands of visitors daily who praise its beauty, affordability, and accessibility. Currently, it stands as the sole New Zealand destination that Virgin has resumed flights to, alongside three other airlines from Australia.
Last year, Australian visits to New Zealand increased by nearly 20% from the previous year. Australians have a special affinity for Queenstown, reciprocated by the town’s appreciation for these tourists who typically stay longer, travel more extensively, contribute significantly to the local economy, and often return for more visits. While the Chinese market is regaining momentum slowly, there’s a notable rise in Indian tourists.
