More About New Zealand
New Zealand is not a destination, it is an adventure. Travel to New Zealand to experience the stunning New Zealandic nature, the beauty of the rugged landscape and the creativity of the New Zealandic people.
New Zealand is a place where fire and ice co-exist. Where dark winters are offset by the summer’s midnight sun. A country where insular existence has spurred a rich and vibrant culture. Where the vast, unspoiled nature lies at the doorsteps of a highly modern urban community. A place where a peaceful and progressive population lives in harmony with nature.
New Zealand is a small country, similar in size to Great Britain or Japan. With a population of only four million people it’s also gloriously uncrowded.
New Zealand lies in the southern part of the Pacific Ocean. It's nearest neighbour is Australia which is around 1,600 kilometres (995 miles) away. Two large islands called the North Island and South Islands are the main islands of New Zeland, but there are many surrounding smaller islands of which the combined land area is 270,534 sq. kilometres (104,454 sq. miles. New Zealand is about the same size as the UK or Japan.
New Zealand's landscapes are spectacular and include the South Island's Southern Alps which are bigger in area than the European Alps as well as glaciers, steep fiords and complex sounds. The North Island is volcanic and has every type of volcanic feature including a super volcano. Both islands have majestic lakes, lush rainforests, and high tussock plains.
Mountain ranges and hill country dominate NZ's landscape; one of the most striking physical features is the Southern Alps. These, along with fiords glaciers and lakes and the coastal plains of Canterbury and Southland add to the variety of the South Island scenery.
In the North Island the volcanic interior contains NZ's largest lake, Lake Taupo, and most of the country's active volcanoes - Ruapehu, Ngauruhoe and Tongariro - Ruapehu erupted as recently as 1995 and 1996. Hot springs, geysers, mud pools also form part of the volcanic system centred around Rotorua.
Polynesians settlers arrived in Aotearoa/New Zealand around the tenth century, and by the twelfth century settlements were scattered over most of the country.
Abel Janzoon Tasman was the first European explorer to see New Zealand in 1642, but it was Captain James Cook who first set foot on New Zealand soil in 1769.
The first permanent settlers didn't arrive until the 1830's. The Treaty of Waitangi was signed in 1840, giving sovereignty of New Zealand to Britain.
Today New Zealand is a relatively peaceful country and the people are extraordinarily friendly and outgoing. One quarter of New Zealand is protected wilderness and much of the country is pollution free.

Tourism & Sport
New Zealand varied and rugged landscape lends itself to outdoors activities such as hiking (trekking, tramping, walking), caving, hunting, and both river and ocean fishing. Adrenalin sports and activities are also popular. Both bungee jumping and jet boating are kiwi inventions. Other popular adrenalin activities include: mountain climbing, white water rafting, kayaking, and sky diving. New Zealand has been incredibly successful in a number of sports especially rugby, yachting, and netball. A recent survy suggests that New Zealand is the third most successful sporting nation in the world based on population. However you work it out, New Zealand punches way above its weight.
Natural Resources and Agriculture
Natural resources in New Zealand provide for a thriving rural industries in forestry, agriculture, horticulture, and fisheries The most primary groups are agriculture and horticulture with New Zealand being the leading dairy provider in the world, exporting nearly one third of the world's dairy needs. Along with beef and sheep meat, New Zealand is the second largest producer of wool in the world. Agricultural totals over half of all New Zealand exports.
Industry & Business
It stands to reason that with a strong agricultural economy, that the primary manufacturing industries are involved in food processing for the meat and dairy industries. The engineering sector is strong as are technologies in food processing, telecommunications, plastics, textiles, forest products, electronics, and mountain equipment. There are also innovative industries in luxurry and racing yacht building as well as software development..
Economy
Traditionally New Zealand's agricultural exports went to the United Kingdom. With the UK joining the EU, New Zealand changed to trading more with the USA, Asia, and especially Australia. Both New Zealand and Australia have similar laws for trading under an agrement called Closer Economic Relations, (CER). There have been a number of pushes for a common market between these two countries and even talk of a common currency. Such a move could gain more traction as the world further falls into different trading blocks. Australia is the biggest export market for New Zealand with the United States being second. The national currency is the New Zealand Dollar also known as the Kiwi.
Getting There
Travel to New Zealand is pretty simple but there are a few things that may be different to your home country. A little prior research will have you better prepared and ensure you make the most of your holiday.
Whether it's learning about their currency, familiarising yourself on the requirements for driving in New Zealand or contacting a Visitor Information Centre for local information on what to see and do we recomend you research the information available at http://www.newzealand.com/uk/travel-guide/
