The trend for New Zealand guest nights continued to rise in June, according to Statistics New Zealand.

"All trend series for guest nights rose in June," Business Indicators Manager Neil Kelly commented. "However, all seasonally adjusted series fell, following rises in April and May for most series."

The Accommodation Survey records the number of guests staying in hotels, motels, backpacker accommodation, and holiday parks in New Zealand each month. New Zealand guest nights fell 4.4 per cent, after a rise of 2.3 per cent in May (seasonally adjusted), with domestic guest nights down 8.1 per cent, and international guest nights down 2.3 per cent.
