However, for those backpackers who are determined to travel, now could be the perfect time to head to New Zealand, because the slowdown could result in hostels lowering their prices in an effort to attract more visitors.
The cheaper rates will also mean travellers can afford to spend more money travelling around the country, while they should also be able to afford
worldwide travel insurance.
