Kiwis are gearing up to get away this Easter but don’t want to fly too far according to recent data.
Sydney, Australia, is the most popular international destination for the April 7-10 Easter holiday travel according to data from online travel agency Webjet.com.au. This is a marked increase from last year, when it was the fifth most popular international destination.
Longer-haul destinations such as London, Manila and Delhi have dipped in popularity compared to April last year, falling off the list of the 10 most popular destinations. Adelaide and Cairns were also bumped from the top 10 list.
So, where are Kiwis flying instead?
Smaller Oceanian islands have gained favour with New Zealand travellers according to Webjet.com.au, with Fiji, Samoa and Rarotonga making the top 10 list.
