Background and redevelopment of the International Visitor Survey
When the International Visitor Survey (IVS) started and how it has developed since, including a major update in 2013.
Impact of COVID-19 on the March 2020 IVS release
The COVID-19 outbreak has affected the IVS collection this quarter. As such, we recommend treating these results with caution. In addition, MBIE and Stats NZ are exploring alternatives to the survey collection for the June and future quarters.
IVS review 2018
Stats NZ has completed a review of the International Visitor Survey (IVS). The details of the review and the review team, and the reports produced, are available on this page.
June 2019 revisions to the IVS
Stats NZ publishes International Travel statistics which are used in the calculation of the International Visitor Survey (IVS).To meet IVS deadlines, Stats NZ supplied early provisional unpublished data, before data processing was complete, to MBIE for the December 2018 month. MBIE have now obtained the final data published by Stats NZ and have revised the IVS spend figures for the year ended December 2018 and the year ended March 2019.
