In 2024, travel and tourism accounted for 9.9% of New Zealand's national GDP. That places New Zealand 19th among the 42 economies tracked in the WTTC Economic Impact Research 2025. Every figure on this page is anchored to that release — no estimates, no AI-generated numbers.
Travel and tourism represented 9.9% of New Zealand's national GDP in 2024. By tourism's share of the national economy, New Zealand ranks 19th of the 42 economies in the WTTC panel — a measure of how concentrated the country is on travel and tourism relative to its overall output. WTTC forecasts the sector to reach 9.9% of GDP in 2025.
Within Asia-Pacific, New Zealand's 9.9% tourism share of GDP sits alongside regional peers such as Malaysia (10.1%), Singapore (10.1%), China (9.0%). Comparing these economies on the same WTTC-verified basis is what makes cross-country tourism benchmarking reliable — every figure is drawn from the identical EIR 2025 methodology.
WTTC projects tourism to settle at 9.9% of New Zealand's GDP by 2035, compared with from 9.9% in 2024. Long-range share forecasts like this are the backbone of demand-planning and investment-attractiveness analysis for New Zealand.
Taken together, these WTTC-verified figures position New Zealand 19th of 42 economies by tourism's share of GDP. For analysts, the value here is reproducibility: every claim on this page is anchored to a single, named source (WTTC EIR 2025) and can be re-derived line by line — no black-box estimates, no model drift between report runs.
