Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/26269f08/new_zealand_touris) has announced the addition of the "New Zealand Tourism Report Q2 2012" report to their offering. New Zealand, which consists of two main islands - the North and the South - and a number of smaller islands, is known for its natural beauty, culture, rugby and ecotourism. The country's marketing slogan, 100% Pure New Zealand', has been in use for over 10 years. In the New Zealand Tourism Strategy 2015, the Pure New Zealand campaign promotes responsible tourism and refers to the Maori concept of kaitiakitanga, which means guardianship, care or protection in relation to the environment. There are a number of tourism businesses focusing on nature and green initiatives to protect the natural environment in New Zealand. More than 10% of New Zealand has been awarded World Heritage status by the UN Educational, Cultural and Scientific Organization (UNESCO). The three main sites are Tongariro National Park; Te Wahipounamu, which contains four national parks; and the Sub-Antarctic Islands. The number of arrivals coming to New Zealand has been climbing steadily since 2001, apart from in 2008 and 2009 when there was no growth due to the global financial crisis and recession. In 2012, 2.68mn arrivals are forecast to visit the country, then grow by an average of 3% year-on-year (y-o-y) to reach 2.97mn in 2015. Given the fact that New Zealand is an island nation in the Pacific Ocean, the most popular way to travel to the country is by air. In 2012, 2.65mn of the forecast arrivals are expected to travel by plane, compared to just 28,000 arriving by sea. Business Monitor International's New Zealand Tourism Report provides industry professionals and strategists, corporate analysts, tourism associations, government departments and regulatory bodies with independent forecasts and competitive intelligence on New Zealand's tourism industry.
