Introduction
This document highlights the current shape of the Holiday Park sector in New Zealand. This information has been prep
for the Holiday Parks Association of New Zealand (HAPNZ) a membership based and funded organisation representin
interests of the commercial Holiday Parks sector in New Zealand. The information which follows is a result of the re
and analysis of existing data relating to the use of Holiday Parks and the provision of Holiday Park accommodation.
Conclusions
New Zealands commercial Holiday Parks are well placed to make a growing contribution to the communities in which
are based. The number of visitors using Holiday Parks remains robust and there is evidence that these visitors stay lo
and spend more than other visitors to New Zealands regions. Recent years have seen an increase in the number of Ho
Parks operating, as well as the range of accommodation offered.
These findings highlight the current nature and state of the Holiday Park sector, and in particular the importance of
contribution that Holiday Parks make to their local communities and the wider tourism industry. Future updates o
document will track how the sector changes into the future.

Some Quick Facts on Holiday Parks
The number of visitors staying in Holiday Parks holds steady. Over the past ten years the number of garrivals to Holiday Parks has grown by 2% overall. In 2012 there were just under 3 million guest arriva
the New Zealand Holiday Park sector.
Holiday Parks are the third largest accommodation sector. In 2012 Holiday Parks catered for 6.2 mvisitor nights this equates to 20% of all commercial visitor nights in New Zealand.
Visitors to Holiday Parks stay longer. The average length of stay at a Holiday Park for 2012 was 2.1 n this is 8% longer than the average length of stay amongst all commercial accommodation sec
International visitors who stay in Holiday Parks also tend to stay much longer in New Zealand
estimated 28 nights on average. This is 47% longer than the average amongst all sectors of 19 nights.
Visitors to Holiday Parks spend more. In part due to their longer stay, the average total expendituNew Zealand for international visitors who stayed at least one night in a Holiday Park was $3,500 in 2
Overall, only 16% of all international visitors spent in excess of this.
The number of Holiday Parks is rising. There are just over 400 commercial Holiday Parks in New ZealThis figure has risen slightly over the past ten years, as has the total capacity of Holiday Parks.
Holiday Parks are offering more built accommodation. Recent years have seen an increase in the amand range of built accommodation offered by Holiday Parks. There is a particular upward shift in
number of ensuite units and park motels being developed.
Holiday Parks are sustaining occupancy rates. With the number and capacity of Holiday Parks increavery slightly over the past ten years, and growth in visitor nights following a similar trend, Holiday P
have seen an increase in occupancy of 4% in total since 2003 (from an annual average of 14% to 1
Further, business confidence measures in the sector currently suggest a degree of optimism exists tow
the coming year.

Number of visitors staying in Holiday Parks holds steadyOver the past ten years the number of guest arrivals to Holiday Parks has held relatively steady and grown by 2% overa
2012 there were just under 3 million guest arrivals in the Holiday Park sector1
- down 8% from the 2008 peak of 3.2 m
arrivals. This rate of growth is slightly behind the average for all commercial accommodation (4.7% over the past 10 ye
but ahead of the motel sector (-2.7%).
In 2012, 192,744 international visitors stayed in at least one Holiday Park during their visit2. This equates to 8%
international visitors to New Zealand in that year. The use of Holiday Parks by international visitors has grown over
although the past two years have seen use decline from a high of 235,000 visitors in 2010. This decline is also evident i
backpacker and motel sectors, and use of hotels and private dwellings is increasing. Data from the Ministry of Busi
Innovation and Employments International Visitor Survey (IVS) suggests the number of international visitors stayi
Holiday Parks has grown by an average of 3% in total over the past nine years (2003-2012), compared with 8% for mo
21% for hotels and -20% for backpackers.
Most commonly, international Holiday Park visitors are from Australia, Germany and the United Kingdom. The propo
of visitors from Europe is currently decreasing in the 2006/07 peak season 66% of international holiday park guests
form Europe, and in the 2012/13 peak season this decreased to 58%3.

The latest government tourism forecast predicts that international visitor arrivals will increase by 28% by 2018 - an ave
of 4% per annum4. At this rate approximately 247,000 international visitors could be using a Holiday Park in 2018 (alth
this doesnt account for changes that are occurring in the marketplace at present that may not favour Holiday Parks su
changes in visitor origin and a decreasing average length of stay).
In the year ending September 2012, 1,456,436 domestic visitors stayed at least one night in a Holiday Park5. This equat
8% of all domestic overnight visitors in that year. There are no current Government tourism forecasts for the dom
market, however if the current growth rate is maintained (6.9% from September 2011 to September 2012), 2.17 m
domestic visitors could stay at least one night in a Holiday Park in 2018.
The chart below further illustrates the variance in the proportion of visitors using Holiday Parks in the different
(Regional Tourism Organisation) regions of New Zealand. This chart shows the proportion of visitors staying in comme
accommodation that are staying in a Holiday Park6. So for example, 54% of all visitors to Coromandel staying in comm
accommodation are staying in a Holiday Park. Some regions display nil values due to low survey response rates.

Holiday Parks are the third largest accommodation sectoIn 2012 Holiday Parks catered for 6.2 million visitor nights this equates to20% of all commercial visitor nights in
Zealand7. Holiday Parks are the third largest commercial accommodation sector after hotels (10.8 million nights)
motels (10.3 million nights).
These 6.2 million Holiday Park visitor nights are currently made up of approximately 2 million international visitor n
(32% of the total) and4.2 million domestic visitor nights (68% of the total)8. These proportions have changed from ar
24% international and 76% domestic in 2000. It is unclear how these proportions may change in the future, given the
no current forecast for the domestic visitor sector, and current international visitor forecasts outline a structural shi
markets that will see some traditional long-haul markets decline, and growth from the Chinese and Australian short
markets.9
The chart below shows the slight upward trend in Holiday Park guest nights over time. Guest nights have increased b
since 2003. This is an average of 0.5% annually.

At a regional level, Commercial Accommodation Monitor data suggests that the share of guest nights provided by Ho
Parks is often even higher than the share of guest arrivals (due to length of stay). For example, in the Bay of Plenty, 32
guest arrivals to commercial accommodation were to Holiday Parks in 2012 and 40% of guest nights in comme
accommodation were spent in Holiday Parks10
. In the chart below some regions have no value displayed due to
response rates.
The RTO regions that provided the most guest nights in Holiday Parks in 2012 were Canterbury, Northland, Nelson/Tas
Auckland, Bay of Plenty and Coromandel11
. Canterbury provided 644,000 Holiday Park guest nights and all of these re
mentioned above provided more than 350,000 Holiday Park guest nights during the year. Canterburys figure equates
daily average of 1,764 Holiday Park guests staying in the region.
The chart over the page provides further information about the number and proportion of Holiday Park guest nights
regional basis. Almost 50% of all international and domestic guest nights are spent in the North Island almost 40% i

Visitors to Holiday Parks stay longerThe average length of stay at a Holiday Park for 2012 was 2.1 nights
13 this is 8% longer than the average length of
amongst all commercial accommodation sectors.
Further, international visitors who stay in Holiday Parks have a much longer average length of stay in New Zealand. D
the peak season of 2012/13 international visitors to holiday parks intended to stay an average of 28 nights in New Zeal
compared to the average length of stay for all international visitors of 19 nights (i.e. 47% longer).14
The chart below
peak season behaviour research of Holiday Park visitors illustrates the relatively long lengths of stay of many internat
visitors. In the 2012/13 peak season, almost half of international visitors interviewed were planning to stay in New Zea
for 22 days or more15
.
At a regional level, it is similarly clear that the length of stay in Holiday Park accommodation commonly outstrips o
sectors. The chart over the page shows data from the Commercial Accommodation Monitor for 2012, comparing
average length of stay in commercial accommodation in the region, with that for Holiday Parks specifically.

particularly well in this area.

Visitors to Holiday Parks spend moreIt has been estimated that while staying at Holiday Parks, visitors contribute up to $733 million in direct expenditu
New Zealands economy each year (approximately $372 million by domestic visitors and $362 million by internat
visitors)16.
In part due to their longer stay, the average total expenditure in New Zealand for international visitors who stayed at
one night of their visit in a Holiday Park/campground was $3,500 in 2012. Overall, only 16% of all international vis
spent in excess of this, putting those visitors staying in holiday parks amongst the highest spending international visitor
Domestic Holiday Park visitors spend less per trip than international visitors. However, they spend more at each indiv
Holiday Park that they stay at. This is because trips by domestic visitors tend to be stay put trips, whilst internat
visitors tend to be touring
18
.
An average of 26% of daily expenditure by Holiday Park visitors goes towards Holiday Park accommodation costs.
balance is typically spent outside of Holiday Parks in areas such as hospitality (cafes, restaurants, bars), activities
attractions, transport (rental vehicles, fuel, buses, taxis), retail goods and services, and entertainment. The chart follow
which shows average daily expenditure per person by category of expenditure during peak season, illustrates this19

The number of Holiday Parks is risingThere are just over 400 commercial Holiday Parks in New Zealand. This figure has risen slightly over the past ten years
below)20
. Also apparent is a seasonal pattern that sees around 5-10% of Holiday Parks close over the winter month
addition to these commercial Holiday Parks, there are also a number of non-commercial camping areas in New Zea
operated by the Department of Conservation and local authorities.
The capacity of all New Zealand Holiday Parks on a daily basis is currently just under 52,00021
. This capacity has
relatively stable over the past 10 years, with just a small increase apparent. As with the number of Holiday
establishments there is a corresponding 5-10% drop in capacity over the winter months.

There are just over 400 commercial Holiday Parks in New Zealand. Almost three quarters of these parks (298) are mem
of the Holiday Parks Association of New Zealand - a membership based and funded organisation representing the inte
of the commercial Holiday Parks sector in New Zealand. There are also 170 Holiday Parks that are Qualmark lic
holders23
(41% of all Holiday Parks and approximately 54% of HAPNZ members). 108 Holiday Parks have also bec
holders of Qualmarks new Enviro-awards (13 gold, 50 silver and 45 bronze). The proportion of Holiday Parks particip
in the Qualmark programme is higher than in the backpacker, motel and hotel sectors (around 17%, 26% and
respectively)24
. This reflects the importance the industry places on the quality of its product offering. Further engage
in quality assurance programmes is encouraged by industry groups.
There are three formal marketing groups within the industry the Top 10 Holiday Park Group (with 51 locations
required to be Qualmark 4 star or more), Kiwi Holiday Parks (with 52 locations all required to be Qualmark 3 star or m
and Family Parks of New Zealand (with 22 locations all required to be Qualmark 3 star or more).
There are slightly more Holiday Parks in the North Island, than in the South Island (58% are in North Island, 42% are in S
Island)25
. Holiday Parks tend to be concentrated in coastal areas (particularly in the north of the North Island), but the
