Occupancy rates for New Zealand's accommodation industry are the key marker for our tourism industry. This chart tracks data released monthly by Statistics NZ, and is updated about six weeks after the end of each month.

Guest-night data is collected in great detail by Statistics NZ, but only the national data is presented here.

Regional and other data is available directly from www.statistics.govt.nz

Data is highly seasonal, and is made up of four core components:

1. Hotels and resorts
2. Motels, motor inns, and apartments
3. Backpackers
4. Holiday parks
