Celluloid Fantasy Becomes a Reality
The number of Indian tourists travelling to NZ is on a definite increase according to an Express India article. 17,286 Indians visited Aotearoa in the year ending November 2005 – 11.5% more than the previous year. Tourism NZ’s country manager for India, Kiran Nambiar, cites the booming Indian economy, more competitive airfares and NZ’s world-wide reputation as a film locale paradise as just some of the reasons behind the increase.
