  • Tourism is one of New Zealand's largest forms of income. The spectacular scenery and relative cleanliness of the environment are big drawcards, as are the opportunities for action and extreme sports such as bungy jumping, mountain biking, caving and snowboarding. Given its geographic isolation the majority of visitors arrive via aeroplane into Auckland, Wellington or Christchurch. Cruise liners also visit major ports. The official New Zealand tourism site is here.

  • Gay tourism or LGBT tourism is a form of niche tourism marketed to gay people who are open about their sexual orientation and who wish to travel to gay travel destinations in order to participate to some extent in the gay life of the destination area. Such a trip is known as a gaycation. As an industry it has some substantial maturity, and includes such specialists as travel agents, tour companies, cruise lines and travel advertising and promotions companies who market these destinations to the gay community. Major companies in the travel industry have become aware of the substantial money (also known as the "pink dollar" or "pink pound") generated by this marketing niche, and have made it a point to align themselves with the gay community and gay tourism campaigns. According to Tourism Intelligence International (2000), some 10% of international tourists were gay or lesbians, accounting for more than 70 million arrivals worldwide. This important market segment is expected to continue to grow as a result of a change in world-wide attitudes to homosexuality. The gay and lesbian segment is estimated as a $55 billion annual market. Outside those companies, practitioners of LGBT tourism are being offered other tools, such as LGBT hospitality networks, i.e. networks of lesbians, gay men, bisexuals or transgendered individuals who offer each other the gift of short term hospitality during their travels. Also available are gay expatriates clubs, which also function to give information and resources to practitioners traveling in their cities.
