New
Zealand’s awesome landscapes, lush forests, amazing wildlife
and pleasant climate make it a haven for many outdoor activities,
and a great place to unwind. Much about New Zealand is diverse,
sophisticated, and multicultural, and the honesty, friendliness,
and openness of Kiwis will impress you. The great advantage about
New Zealand is that all of its diverse physical, cultural, and artistic
landscapes are so close to each other!
General
New Zealand's spectacularly beautiful landscape includes vast mountain
chains, steaming volcanoes, sweeping coastlines, deeply indented
fiords and lush
rainforests.
Comparable
in size and/or shape to Great Britain, Colorado or Japan, New Zealand
has a population of only 4 million - making it one of the world's
least crowded countries. It is a haven for those seeking peace,
rejuvenation and relaxation as well as a playground for thrill seekers
and adventurers. A temperate climate with relatively small seasonal
variation makes it an ideal year-round holiday
destination.
Our
Culture
New Zealand has a unique and dynamic culture. The culture of its
indigenous Maori people affects the language, the arts, and even
the accents of all New Zealanders. Their place in the South Pacific,
and their love of the outdoors, sport, and the arts make New Zealanders
and their culture unique in the world.
Natural
Environment
With vast open spaces filled with stunning rugged landscapes, gorgeous
beaches, often spectacular geothermal and volcanic activity, a temperate
climate and fascinating animal and plant life, and it is no surprise
that New Zealand’s pure natural environment is so attractive
to visitors from other countries. And the great advantage of New
Zealand is there are many different landscapes, environments, and
ecosystems so close to each other.
