    Analyst Opinion

    The Camping market in New Zealand is experiencing a surge in popularity among both locals and tourists.

    Customer preferences:
    Customers in New Zealand are increasingly leaning towards eco-friendly and sustainable camping options. They are showing a preference for campsites that offer unique experiences such as glamping, where they can enjoy the outdoors in a more luxurious setting. Additionally, there is a growing interest in camping near beaches, forests, and other natural attractions, reflecting a desire to connect with nature.

    Trends in the market:
    One notable trend in the New Zealand camping market is the rise of camper van tourism. With the flexibility and freedom that camper vans provide, more people are opting for this mode of camping accommodation. This trend is further fueled by the convenience of being able to travel to multiple camping sites without the need for setting up and taking down tents.

    Local special circumstances:
    New Zealand's stunning landscapes and diverse natural beauty play a significant role in shaping the camping market. The country's Department of Conservation (DOC) manages a vast network of campsites in scenic locations, attracting campers looking to immerse themselves in the great outdoors. The Kiwi camping culture, characterized by a laid-back and communal atmosphere, also sets New Zealand apart as a camping destination.

    Underlying macroeconomic factors:
    The growth of the camping market in New Zealand can be attributed to several macroeconomic factors. The rise of domestic tourism, driven by factors such as a strong economy and increasing disposable income, has led more New Zealanders to explore their own backyard through camping trips. Additionally, the country's popularity as an international tourist destination has brought in a steady stream of visitors looking to experience the unique camping opportunities that New Zealand has to offer.
