Numbers through the Redwoods i-Site has more than doubled in the first quarter of this year due to the opening of the new Redwoods Treewalk attraction.
The i-Site has seen a 70 per cent increase in visitor numbers compared to the same period last year with 35,000 visitors for January and 30,000 for February.
The same period last year saw just 12,000 visitors.
Rotorua i-Site manager Graham Brownrigg said they anticipated a moderate increase this year of around 18,000 visitors per month with the opening of the Redwoods Treewalk last December however they had been astonished with the large number of visitors and bookings through the i-Site.
"We anticipated that during the warmer months the Redwoods Forest would see an increase in visitors. It's an iconic attraction - offering beautiful walking tracks and scenic surroundings and since the Treewalk opened we are seeing more visitors. People want to see the beautiful forest from a different viewpoint."
Mr Brownrigg said the latest attraction was also having benefits for other Rotorua attractions.
