Economist Benje Patterson: bike tourism in plantation forests

from Ara Hīkoi Aotearoa · host Herenga ā Nuku Aotearoa

Each year thousands of NZers and tourists explore our outdoors on bike. The average mountain bike tourist spends 3 or 4 days on their holiday. And many of them explore our plantation forests. I talked to independent economist Benje Patterson. Patterson has published a report showing that tourists who biked through New Zealand’s production forests in 2022 spent nearly $300 million on things like food, accommodation, and entertainment.
