(ITM) International Travel and Migration

We are introducing a new field called 'closest overseas port', and five new tables containing this field on 6 May 2013. The new tables are:

- SRD8 - Short-term NZ traveller departures by closest overseas port
- ST6 - Total passenger movements by closest overseas port and selected NZ ports
- ST7 - Total passenger movements by NZ port and selected closest overseas ports
- SVA9 - Visitor arrivals by country of residence and closest overseas port
- SVD5 - Visitor departures by country of residence and closest overseas port.

Click here for the details of the series identifiers.

Closest overseas port records the first port of a passenger's flight after leaving New Zealand, or the last port of a passenger's flight before arriving in New Zealand. It is not necessarily where the passenger joined or left the flight.

The closest overseas port tables will be replacing the current 'overseas port' tables, which record the port at which the passenger joined or left their flight to/from New Zealand. Overseas port tables will be removed from Infoshare in August 2013. These tables are:
- SRD3 - Short-term NZ traveller departures by overseas port
- ST4 - Total passenger movements by overseas port and selected NZ ports
- ST5 - Total passenger movements by NZ port and selected overseas ports
- SVA5 - Visitor arrivals by country of residence and overseas port
- SVD2 - Visitor departures by country of residence and overseas port.

Please contact demography@stats.govt.nz if you have any questions.

Corrections – 7 March 2013 
We have corrected some figures originally published in Balance of Payments and International Investment Position: Year ended 31 March 2012 on 27 September.

The errors are specific to stocks and flows of direct investment between New Zealand and several economic country groupings (APEC, ASEAN, EU, and the OECD).
They affect periods between the years ended March 2001 and March 2012. To varying degrees, the total stocks or flows for direct investment into those country groupings had been understated or overstated.

The following tables have changes:
(BOP)
BPM5 Direct Investment by Country (Annual-Mar)

New Zealand's IIP Liabilities - Direct Investment by Country (Annual-Mar)
New Zealand's IIP Assets - Direct Investment by Country (Annual-Mar)

We sincerely regret any inconvenience these errors may have caused.
The corrected data is now available on Infoshare.
