1.0 Executive summary
The majority of tourists of all studied nationalities reported feeling “extremely satisfied”
with their visit to New Zealand.
The average tourist to New Zealand was middle aged (Australian, �̅� = 49; German, �̅� =
42; Japanese, �̅� = 50), and with a university degree or in a skilled occupation.
Australian and German tourists showed a tendency to travel alone, and independence
was similarly favoured by Japanese travellers.
Australian and German tourists favoured travelling New Zealand by car, while Japanese
tourists used coaches.
Motel accommodation was preferred by Australian tourists, campervans were favoured
by Germans, and the majority of Japanese stayed in hotels.
Adventure activities showed frequent groupings, indicating that tourists interested in
one adventure activity are likely to have interest in others too.
Tourists from both Australia and Japan include individuals seeking culture-based
activities (e.g. Māori performances), or high end life-style activities (e.g. golf, casinos).
Offering more packages targeted at tourists with specific interests could be a
strategy to boost tourist numbers and their experience satisfaction.
Local cuisine fell below tourist expectations – while highly anticipated and frequently
experienced by tourists to New Zealand, it did not rank as a highlight.
Improving the tourist experience of local cuisine offers an opportunity to increase
visitor satisfaction and potentially attract more tourists.
Walking activities were popular across nationalities – highly anticipated, frequently
experienced and often a top highlight.
German tourists stood out among the nationalities analysed, seeking unique
combinations of activities. Young German tourists (≤44 years) considered day hikes and
marine life as highlights, while this was not the case for senior German tourists (≥65
years).
Investment in perennially popular activities will likely prove profitable; improving
accessibility may increase an activity’s appeal to broader demographics.
Japanese tourists found meeting locals an unexpected highlight of their New Zealand
visit.
Development of marketing to promote lesser-known tourists activities may
attract more visitors and diverse demographics.

1.1 Introduction
Background
New Zealand is globally recognized as a top travel destination, offering many diverse landscapes
and experiences within its compact area (Wanderlust, 2016). In the year ending August 2016,
over 3.3 million overseas visitors travelled to New Zealand (Statistics NZ, 2016). The tourism
industry directly contributed $10.6 billion to the national GDP in the last recorded year (year
ended March 2015) and directly employs more than 168,000 people (Statistics NZ 2015); in terms
of foreign exchange earnings, this sector is the nation’s second largest export industry (Tourism
New Zealand, 2016). Developing an understanding of New Zealand’s diverse visitor
demographics, prospective tourists’ perceptions of this country, and what visitors make of their
travel experience is crucial to sustain and grow the tourism market.
The following report aims to profile tourists of different nationalities and develop an
understanding of how this relates to their experiences of New Zealand as a tourist destination.
Data set and analyses
Survey respondents totaled 3664 individuals, and were nationals of Australia (1043 respondents),
Germany (1095) and Japan (1526). Respondents were categorized as either potential visitors,
actual visitors, or both (those planning a return trip). The survey polled respondents on their
opinions of 33 main tourist attractions offered in New Zealand. The individual expectations of
potential tourists and satisfaction of actual tourists regarding each activity were recorded, as was
whether or not a given activity was a highlight.
Analyses were carried out on subsets of data using IBM SPSS 22 and Microsoft Excel 2013
software.
2.0 Visitor profiles
Aim: to establish a profile of the average tourist of different nationalities who intend to travel, or
have travelled, to New Zealand.
2.1 Australia
A total of 1043 Australian tourists participated in the survey, comprising 227 individuals prior to
their New Zealand trip, 667 individuals following their travel, and 149 past New Zealand tourists,
prior to a return trip.
4
Of the total number of Australians surveyed, 40.8% were male and 55.8% were female, leaving
3.4% undisclosed. The average age of visitors was 49, and visitor ages ranged from 2-84 years
(Fig. 1).
Figure 1. Age distribution (%) of potential and actual Australian visitors to New
Zealand (n = 648).
Many of the potential and actual Australian visitors to New Zealand were either people with
established careers or that had retired, with the highest categories being “skilled” individuals
(26%) and “retired” (22%) (Fig. 2).

While the majority of actual Japanese tourists travelled independently, the popularity of both
packaged and semi-packaged tours accounts for travel by coach being selected by many
respondents. Hotel accommodation was clearly favoured by Japanese tourists (Fig. 12).

2.4 All visitors
The majority of actual tourist respondents of all nationalities reported feeling “extremely
satisfied” with their New Zealand trip (Fig. 15).

(Australian, n = 816; German, n = 633; Japanese, n = 517).
3.0 Exploratory factor analysis
Aim: to look for associations between activity preferences of potential tourists from different
countries.
Method
Participants
Analyses were carried out on a subset of data – that of potential tourists to New Zealand (both
first-time and returning visitors), surveyed while in their home country of Australia, Germany or
Japan. Data was collected from a total of 2003 potential tourists (376 Australian, 531 German,
1096 Japanese).
Materials
The survey listed main tourist activities in New Zealand, and potential tourists indicated the
strength of their intention to pursue particular activities (e.g. bungee-jumping, bird watching) via
a Likert-type scale, ranging from 1-7 (1 = definitely not, 4 = do that too, 7 = that’s why I’m going).

Procedure
Analysis was carried out on the sample correlation matrix using the principal components
method, as no prior assumptions were made about potential relationships between factors. A
fixed number of factors (four) was set for extraction. The selected rotation method was varimax
rotation, and small coefficients (<0.4) were suppressed in the results. The Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin and
Bartlett’s measures were included, as were scree plots, to test assumptions of each analysis.
Results
Australia
The Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin measure of sampling adequacy was reported as 0.854, exceeding the
recommended value of 0.5, and Bartlett’s test of sphericity was significant (𝜒2(528) = 4691.451,
p < 0.5). Sampling adequacy measured by the diagonals of the anti-image correlation matrix also
gave evidence for the inclusion of all items in the factor analysis, with all values over 0.5 (see
Appendix). Considering these results, the inclusion of all 33 variables in the factor analysis
appeared appropriate.
Selecting components based on eigenvalues >1 suggested choosing 8 factors, though subsequent
examination of the scree plot (given the large sample size) indicated that 3 factors be used. The
amount of variance explained by each of the three factors was reallocated but essentially
unchanged following rotation, and the factor loading pattern was improved with almost all
activities having only a single large loading. The four factors explain 47.399% of the total variance
in the 33 variables (see Appendix).
The loadings in the resultant component matrix suggest that an Australian tourist with a high
score on rotated factor 1 are likely to have a preference for cultural activities, such as Māori
performances, historic places and meeting Māori. A tourist with a high score on rotated factor 2
seeks adventure sports activities on their New Zealand holiday such as rafting, jet-boating and
skiing. A tourist with a high score on rotated factor 3 is interested in viewing New Zealand’s
nature, with activities such as hiking/tramping, kayaking/canoeing and bird watching (Fig. 16).
16
Figure 16. Rotated factor loadings for tourist activities based on Australian visitor
expectations (n = 376).
17
Of the relationships between the four extracted factors and the demographics of Australian
tourists, the negative correlation between age and factor 2 is most clear – as age increases, the
score for factor 2 (adventure sports) decreases (Fig. 17).
Figure 17. Relationship between factor score (rotated factor 2) and age for Australian
tourists (n = 376).
Germany
The Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin measure of sampling adequacy was reported as 0.793, exceeding the
recommended value of 0.5, and Bartlett’s test of sphericity was significant (𝜒2(496) = 4213.659,
p < 0.5). Sampling adequacy measured by the diagonals of the anti-image correlation matrix also
gave evidence for the inclusion of all items in the factor analysis, with all values over 0.5 (see
Appendix). Considering these results, the inclusion of all 32 variables in the factor analysis
appeared appropriate.
Selecting components with eigenvalues >1 suggested choosing 9 factors, though subsequent
examination of the scree plot (given the large sample size) indicated that 4 factors be used. The
amount of variance explained by each of the four factors was reallocated but essentially
unchanged following rotation, though the factor loading pattern showed several activities to have
multiple large loadings. The four factors explain 39.534% of the total variance in the 32 variables
(see Appendix).
The loadings in the resultant component matrix suggest that a German tourist with a high score
on rotated factor 1 are likely to have a preference for nature walking, favouring day hikes, short
walks and bird watching. A tourist with a high score on rotated factor 2 seeks adventure sports
18
activities on their New Zealand holiday such as rafting, kayaking/canoeing and cycling/mountain
biking. A tourist with a high score on rotated factor 3 would like a relaxing New Zealand holiday,
with activities such as shopping, evening entertainment and sunbathing. A tourist with a high
score on rotated factor 4 may be an older person, with interests such as theatres & shows, casinos
and golf (Fig. 18).

expectations (n = 531).
19
Japan
The Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin measure of sampling adequacy was reported as 0.854, exceeding the
recommended value of 0.5, and Bartlett’s test of sphericity was significant (𝜒2(528) = 11876.434,
p < 0.5). Sampling adequacy measured by the diagonals of the anti-image correlation matrix also
gave evidence for the inclusion of all items in the factor analysis, with all values over 0.5 (see
Appendix). Considering these results, the inclusion of all 33 variables in the factor analysis
appeared appropriate.
Selecting components with eigenvalues >1 suggested choosing 8 factors, though subsequent
examination of the scree plot (given the large sample size) indicated that 3 factors be used. The
amount of variance explained by each of the three factors was reallocated but essentially
unchanged following rotation, and improved the factor loading pattern with few activities having
multiple large loadings. The three factors explain 40.042% of the total variance in the 33 variables
(see Appendix).
The loadings in the resultant component matrix suggest that a Japanese tourist with a high score
on rotated factor 1 hopes to do thrill-seeking activities in New Zealand, such as rafting, jet-boating
and parachuting. A tourist with a high score on rotated factor 2 is interested in viewing New
Zealand’s nature, such as marine life, glaciers and bird watching. A tourist with a high score on
rotated factor 3 is interested in the culture of the New Zealand people, and looks forward to
activities such as meeting locals, meeting Māori and Māori performances (Fig. 19).

expectations (n = 1096).
21
Conclusions
Each nationality had a factor relating to adventure sports (e.g. rafting), and being out in
nature (e.g. bird watching)
Both Australia and Japan had a factor relating to culture-based activities.
German tourists differed most from the other two nationalities, with unique factors
relating to relaxing activities (e.g. sunbathing, evening entertainment) and older persons
activities (e.g. golf, casinos).
4.0 Cluster analysis
Aim: to identify groups of activities that were ranked similarly by survey respondents with regards
to activity “expectation”.
Method
Participants
Analyses were carried out on subsets of data – that of tourists in their home country of Australia,
Germany or Japan prior to their visit to New Zealand. Data used was from a total of 1998 tourists
(373 Australian, 537 German, 1088 Japanese).
Materials
The survey listed main tourist activities in New Zealand, and tourists indicated the likelihood of
their participation in certain activities via a Likert-type scale, ranging from 1-7 (1 = “definitely
not”, 4 = “will do that too”, 7 = “that’s why I’m going”).
Procedure
The hierarchical clustering method was used, and the 33 main tourist activities were clustered by
variables. The number of clusters was restricted to 4. Ward’s method of clustering was applied,
with Squared Euclidean distance as the interval measure. A dendrogram was produced for each
analysis.

The clusters based on the expectations of potential Australian tourists suggest that respondents
showed preferences for either extreme sports activities (cluster 1), nature/outdoors activities
(cluster 2), cultural activities (cluster 3) or high-end lifestyle activities (cluster 4) (Table 1; Fig. 20).

27
Conclusions
Each nationality shows a cluster relating to thrill-seeking activities (e.g. jet-boating), i.e.
respondents who highly anticipate New Zealand’s thrill-seeking activities are a common
type of international tourist
Both Australia and Japan have a cluster relating to high-end lifestyle activities (e.g.
casinos, golf)
German tourists stand out as having unique clusters (defined as “experiential activities”
and “sedate activities”) – this suggests that tourists of this nationality have different
intentions for their visit to New Zealand than people of other nationalities.
5.0 Activity expectations and experiences
Aim: to identify the activities most highly anticipated by potential tourists to New Zealand and
compare them to the activities done most frequently and rated most highly by past visitors to
New Zealand.
Method
Participants
Analyses were carried out on subsets of data – potential or actual Australian, German and
Japanese tourists to New Zealand, totalling 3682 individuals (1055 Australians, 1114 Germans,
1513 Japanese).
Procedure
For each main tourist activity, respondents gave a binary response as to whether activity was a
highlight (= 1) or not (= 0). The frequency of “highlight” response for each activity was calculated,
and then converted into a percentage value. Activities were ranked from highest to lowest
highlight percentage in order to identify the top activities. The same procedure was used to
determine the most highly anticipated activities (based on the number of potential tourists
whose expectation response for given activity was “that’s why I am going [to New Zealand]”) and
most frequently participated in activities (based on the number of actual tourists whose
satisfaction response for a given activity was “very frequent [participation]”).
Results
Local cuisine was the most highly anticipated activity for both Australian and Japanese potential
tourists, but did not feature in the top highlights of those who have already visited New Zealand
– even though it was a most frequent activity of Australian (and German) tourists (local cuisine
28
was a highlight for 12.8% and 5.8% of tourist from these countries respectively (Table 2); highlight
for 10.7% of Germans, with 36.8% anticipation (Appendix)).
Day hikes were the most highly anticipated activity for German potential tourists, and also the
top highlight of German tourists following their New Zealand trip (Table 2).
Short walks and Hiking/Tramping were highly anticipated by Japanese potential tourists, and
also the top two activities of Japanese tourists following their travel to New Zealand (Table 2).
Glaciers were a highly anticipated activity for Australian potential tourists, and also the top
highlight of those Australians surveyed who had already visited New Zealand (Table 2).

frequently participated in and top highlight activities for actual tourists.

Conclusions
Expectations of New Zealand’s local cuisine were not met, despite frequent tourist
participation in local cuisine activities.
Walking activities (short walks, day hikes, hiking/tramping) were universally popular –
often highly anticipated, frequently participated in and top highlights for all nationalities.
Meeting locals was an unexpectedly important aspect of the New Zealand experience for
Japanese tourists.

6.0 Logistic regression
Aim: to identify the variables which impact on the classification of tourist activities as a highlight
by German tourists to New Zealand
Method
Participants
A subset of 1032 individuals were included in the analysis – those respondents who had returned
to their home country following their New Zealand visit. Data included the gender and age of
each respondent, with ages categorised into young (≤44 years), middle-aged (45-64 years) or
senior (≥65 years).
Materials
The predictor and outcome variables are defined as:
Age: D1 = young, 0 otherwise
D2 = middle-aged, 0 otherwise
Gender: 1 = male, 2 = female
Outcome variables: 1 = highlight, 0 otherwise
Procedure
A logistic regression analysis was carried out to predict the selection of a given activity as a tourist
highlight. Analyses were carried out on select activities, chosen for their ranking as top highlights
for German tourists – day hikes, marine life, and glaciers (see Table 2, Section 5.0). The binary
logistic regression was carried out with predictor variables as categorical covariates.
Having run the analysis, the activity “glaciers” was found to have no significant associations with
any age categories or gender, and has therefore been omitted from the results.
Results
Day hikes
Overall, 68.4% of the highlight choices have been correctly classified (see Appendix).
For predicting the probability of choosing day hikes as a highlight, the age groups young and
senior are significant variables at the 0.05 level.
30
There is evidence that age group has an effect on the probability of a German respondent
choosing day hikes as a highlight of their New Zealand holiday. It appears that young tourists are
more likely to consider day hikes a highlight (p = 0.001), while senior tourists are less likely to do
so (p < 0.001) (Table 3). A negative relationship between age and the predicted probability of
highlight classification for “day hikes” is evident (Fig. 23).

Marine life
Overall, 69.2% of the highlight choices have been correctly classified (see Appendix).
For predicting the probability of choosing marine life as a highlight, the age groups young and
senior are significant at the 0.05 level.
There is evidence that age group has an effect on the probability of a German respondent
choosing marine life as a highlight of their New Zealand holiday. It appears that young tourists
are more likely to consider marine life a highlight (p = 0.008), while senior tourists are less likely
to do so (p < 0.001) (Table 4). A negative relationship between age and the predicted probability
of highlight classification for “marine life” is evident (Fig.24).

Conclusions
For German tourists, the two activities with the highest highlight classification were day
hikes and marine life (Table 1, Section 4). There is evidence that for young tourists (≤44
years) for both day hikes and marine life were a highlight, whereas it is indicated that both
activities were not a highlight for senior tourists (≥65 years).
