New Zealand is known throughout the world as a country of great natural beauty – one that is easy to fall in love with and impossible to forget. Similar in size to Great Britain but with a population of just about 4.5 million people, New Zealand is one of the world’s least-crowded countries. “If Oscars were awarded for location, New Zealand would scoop the lot,” says Clive Irving of Conde Naste Traveller.
New Zealand is more than a holiday destination; it’s a state of mind. The nation enjoys image as a clean and green land with magnificent mountains and waterways, steaming volcanoes, sweeping coastlines, deeply indented fiords and lush rainforests. New Zealand is also a dynamic 21st century society with sophisticated cities, diverse economy and a vibrant arts and cultural life.
New Zealand society is diverse and multicultural. Although the bulk of New Zealand’s population are of European descent and English is the everyday language, Māori, New Zealand’s indigenous population, make up around 15 per cent of the population and growing numbers of people from around the world are making New Zealand their home.
New Zealand is a nation with a proven record in virtually every field of endeavor – science, technology, manufacturing, sport, and social issues. It’s the safest country to live, with stable political and social systems; a secure place to invest for your future. New Zealand has produced a range of world-renowned achievements and personalities way out of proportion to our modest population of just over four million.

- Science & Technology
Airport is committed to being the most outstanding and welcoming airport in the world, creating a uniquely kiwi experience for our visitors, passengers and staff.It was March 31, 1903, some nine months before the Wright brothers flew their first aircraft, that New Zealand farmer and inventor Richard Pearce took flight and landed a powered heavier-than-air machine.
In more recent years there have been a raft of technological innovations, big and small, many of which have made their mark worldwide – the Hamilton jetboat, Powerbeat batteries, Trimble Navigation (now based in the US), Jade e-commerce software, Reel Two categorization, search and retrieval software (also US based now). Bungy jumping? That’s a Kiwi invention. Woolrest sleepers, spreadable butter? Yes, Kiwi as well.
Ingenuity and innovation are characteristics Kiwis are renowned for, and the tourism industry in New Zealand is no exception. The Hamilton Jet, the ski plane, bungy, blokart and Zorb are all examples of Kiwi inventions that have pushed traditional boundaries of travel and embody the Kiwi sense of adventure. These examples have provided more unique ways to experience some of New Zealand’s most scenic locations. New Zealand continues to push innovation in a range of other fields, from its traditional export industries such as agriculture and dairy, to newer growth areas such as fresh cuisine and award-winning wine.
New Zealand is among the world leaders for innovation performance in relation to income level. The 2012 Global Innovation Index ranked New Zealand 13th in the world and third in the Asia-Pacific region. New Zealand ranks fifth in the world for knowledge creation, measured by the number of resident and international patent applications, and scientific and technical articles published; and second for the highest Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) scores.
New Zealand is ranked in the world’s top 10 for ICT workforce employment.
New Zealanders (Kiwis) are famous for their ingenuity and self-sufficiency. It is said that Kiwis can create amazing things – all they need is “a piece of Number 8 wire.” No. 8 wire is a certain gauge of wire that was incredibly popular for use as fencing wire around New Zealand’s many farms. Many innovations have their origins on farms or in someone’s backyard. Because No. 8 wire was widely available, it was used for a variety of tasks, and it has become a symbol of kiwi adaptability.
