DialAFlight Predicts Big Year for Tourism in New Zealand

    LONDON, ENGLAND, February 15, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- DialAFlight, travel specialist and supplier of cheap flights to New Zealand, is tipping New Zealand to be one of this year's boom destinations. Tourism in New Zealand has enjoyed a steady increase in recent years but 2011 looks set to be the year it really explodes.

In an interview you can see on Dialaflight's YouTube channel, Emma Adcock of New Zealand Tourism highlighted two big reasons visitors will be flocking to the country in the next year. Firstly, the Rugby World Cup is taking place across New Zealand between 9th September and 23rd October. It's estimated that between 85,000 and 100,000 Rugby fans will descend on the country as the All Blacks attempt to bounce back from their disappointment four years ago and triumph on home turf.

Venues for the competition stretch across the length of this naturally diverse country, from the spiritual home of Kiwi Rugby, Eden Park in Auckland, right down to Invercargill's Rugby Park Stadium on the southernmost tip of the southern island. Even if you aren't a Rugby fanatic, the World Cup is a great chance to take in this beautiful country from tip to toe.

The second big draw on New Zealand's event's calendar in 2011 is the return of Sir Peter Jackson and crew to film The Hobbit. Having filmed The Lord of The Rings, in its entirety, in New Zealand, it seems Jackson has decided that a there's no better stand-in for Middle Earth than his own homeland.

Inevitably Tolkien fans have adopted New Zealand as something of a mecca and a surge in visitors looking for fantastical landmarks such as Hobbiton (the hills of Matamata when not viewed in Tolkien-vision), seems certain again this year.
DialAFlight offer year-round deals on flights to New Zealand and are currently promoting discounts on a range of New Zealand adventure packages including an amazing 18 day motor home adventure from just GBP2699.
