The Business Events Activity Survey monitored and benchmarked the performance of more than 300 professional conferencing and meeting venues in New Zealand from 2009 to 2019.

The Domestic Travel Survey provided accurate, quarterly information on the number and type of trips, characteristics, behaviour and expenditure of domestic visitors.

The Accommodation Survey provided information about short-term commercial accommodation activity at national, regional, and lower levels.

The Regional Tourism Indicators (RTIs) were designed to provide data on tourism spending in the various regions of New Zealand, using electronic card transaction data as the source.
