What a success

Prior to the Covid-19 pandemic, tourism was New Zealand's single biggest export. How much was it worth to the economy? 41.9 Billion. Yep, that's a cool 115 million NZD each and every day of the year. It kept 225,3844 Kiwis directly employed, and another 158,802 indirectly employed - that's a substantial 13.6% of our total workforce. 😲 And we're getting back there - visitor numbers are surging, and spending is almost back to pre-pandemic times. 💪 So take a look at this team below, who are putting in the hard yards at ITB Berlin to encourage the world to come experience our manaakitanga. 👏 👏 👏 The GNZCC is the official representative office for Messe Berlin, and ITB Berlin.
