KEY POINTS:
The Dutch Government is warning tourists travelling to New Zealand of "serious crime" after a second Dutch tourist was raped in the space of two years.
The 22-year-old woman was attacked early last Thursday as she and her 25-year-old partner slept in their station wagon at the Five Mountains Holiday Park in Tuatapere, west of Invercargill.
Police have arrested a 25 year-old man in relation to the attack.
A new heading - "Serious Crime" has now been added to the New Zealand travel advice page on the Dutch Government website.
Translated, the page says although serious crime does not happen often, the number of robberies is increasing and campers are being targeted.
The Dutch travel advice warns campers to use official camping sites and not to park up in the "wild".
The site mentions the rape of the Dutch woman last week as well as an attack in 2006.
Keith Anthony McEwen and Christopher Mana Manuel are serving prison sentences for the rape of a Dutch woman who was attacked with her partner in a campervan, west of Paihia in 2006.
According to statistics from Tourism New Zealand, from the year ending November, 2008 there has been a 2.5 per cent drop-off in Dutch visitors. There was also a 2 per cent drop between 2007 and 2006.
However, it isn't only the Dutch numbers that are down. For example, visitors from the UK were down 3.4 per cent in the year ending November 2008 and up 1.4 per cent in the previous year.
