According to ADAC Reisemonitor, this year (2010) 61.7 per cent of those polled intend to organise their holiday trips themselves, 5.1 per cent more than in 2007 (56.6 per cent). “German behaviour patterns have significantly changed. For many people planning and organising one’s own holidays is a perfectly natural thing. As a result there is a growing demand for information. This is reflected by the rise in attendance by the general public on the open days at ITB Berlin. The fact that visitors are increasingly booking directly after ITB Berlin is a clear indication that they are making use of the world’s largest travel trade show to obtain their own information to make their holiday decisions themselves“, is how Dr. Martin Buck, Director Competence Center, Travel and Logistics at Messe Berlin commented the latest findings of ADAC Reisemonitor. According to the survey, at over 85 per cent Germany is the country with the highest number of people booking their own holidays.

NEUSEELAND NEWS: WHERE WE COME INPromoting NZ to an international German speaking travel marketNEUSEELAND NEWS (NN) is the only New Zealand based German language TRAVEL & LIFESTYLE PUBLICATION promoting New Zealand on a regular basis in PRINT & ONLINE for more than 12 years. Our service reaches out to the wider German-speaking international population to promote New Zealand as a travel destination. According to Tourism New Zealand, continued growth in arrivals from Germany reflects New Zealand's popularity among German travellers and the stability of the German travel market. Many Germans will cut back on spending in other areas before they give up their annual overseas holiday, even in difficult economic times. Tourism New Zealand also indicates that German visitors are independent travellers and four out of five will travel beyond the major tourist centres. They often start researching New Zealand well before travelling and are keen users of guiding publications, such as NEUSEELAND NEWS. German visitors are likely to make the majority of their travel arrangements while they travel within New Zealand. And this is where NEUSEELAND NEWS comes in: We make recommendations on travel destinations and provide expert information on attractions, activities, accommodation and everything of relevance in between. Our mission is to provide a seamless communication between German travellers and the tourism paradise that is New Zealand. Our business is experiencing a rapid growth phase. Visitor arrivals from Germany rose 2.8% in the year ended 2010 and a research report from Tourism New Zealand indicates that 7.7% (4 million) German are prepared to visit New Zealand for their next "big OE". We contributed to that growth and we are working to expand our services to an even wider base of German-speakers. More importantly, we make the German market approachable for every tourism related service in New Zealand.
