Average Vacation Expenses in New Zealand
1.32%
— value growth in dollar since 2017
New Zealand is a popular choice for those seeking a picturesque vacation. Geographically quite distant, but culturally and linguistically close to home, with the U.S. dollar worth 1.32 percent more this year, it might be worth considering a visit to New Zealand—if your wallet won’t stop you. Changes on this scale amount to the exchange rate holding steady against the U.S. dollar, however, it will still result in your money going further this year, as you help stimulate the Kiwi economy. At any rate, the strength of the dollar here makes local prices lower than neighboring Australia.
