Looking ahead, the New Zealand sports tourism market size is projected to expand at a robust annual growth rate of 8.5% throughout the forecast period. This growth is being fueled by the country’s successful hosting of marquee events such as the America’s Cup and the Rugby World Cup, as well as increasing interest in adventure sports and specialized athletic experiences.
New Zealand’s well-developed infrastructure, commitment to sustainability, and wide range of sporting opportunities are key factors in attracting international visitors, particularly from major markets like Australia, the United States, and the United Kingdom. The ongoing enhancement of regional sports hubs and the expansion of event-related facilities will further cement New Zealand’s reputation as a leading global destination for sports tourism over the next decade.
