Tourists continue to flock across the ditch to New Zealand.
Stats NZ figures show more than 260 thousand overseas travellers visited in October, 22 thousand up on the year before.
More than 120 thousand came from Australia – a record October high.

He says there’s also been strong marketing from Tourism New Zealand, which has been paying off.
