Covid showing little impact in Kiwi summer holiday plans Monday, December 14, 2020 Tracy Neal for RNZ
More than 80 percent of people surveyed on their summer holiday plans are aiming to travel around New Zealand this season.
And the results showed most will be taking to the road in a campervan.
The annual survey by the tourism booking and information platform (website and app), Campable, found Covid-19 was a bigger disruptor of winter plans than it was for the Christmas holiday season.
Of the people surveyed 58 percent said this summer presented a better opportunity to explore New Zealand than ever before.
