Backpackers heading out to New Zealand to take advantage of the low New Zealand dollar should remember to buy
online travel insurance.
According to newstalkzb.co.nz, the low value of the currency is thought to be one of the reasons why the central Otago region of New Zealand has experienced an influx of backpackers seeking seasonal work in recent weeks. The abundance of travellers with
backpacker travel insurance who are looking to boost their savings has been a blessing for orchards which struggled to find the manpower for the 2007 harvest.
New Zealand remains one of the most popular backpacker destinations in the world and many travellers choose to find temporary work while in the country so that they can fund further expeditions and experiences.
The global downturn is having an impact on tourism around the world, but the low value of the New Zealand dollar is making up for this in some ways by offering cheaper rates. This has become an added incentive for travellers who might otherwise consider heading somewhere closer to home.
