New Zealand voted best place on Earth

03 Dec 2007

A UK survey has voted New Zealand the best country on earth.

More than 30,000 readers of Britain’s Daily Telegraph newspaper voted New Zealand the ''Best Holiday Destination Worldwide'' in the largest annual independent survey of the British traveling public.

New Zealand Tourism Minister Damien O’Connor, says the survey results are an authentic assessment of New Zealand’s tourism quality because the information came directly from customers.

''An award like this is a great accolade for New Zealand and for our hard-working tourism industry,'' says Mr O’Connor.

''Offering outstanding customer service and ensuring we offer travellers deep, rich, authentic and unique experiences are crucial factors in delivering a world-class visitor experience.''

The United Kingdom is New Zealand’s second largest market, contributing more than 300,000 visitor arrivals over the past year.

The Telegraph will print a 24 page supplement on 8 December 07, highlighting New Zealand and other category winners.

New Zealand also won the Telegraph reader awards for best destination in 2004 and 2005.
