by Uli Cloesen

Abstract:

Data for foreign fee paying student’s tourism expenditure and travel habits did not feature in New Zealand’s Domestic Travel Survey or Provisional Tourism Satellite Account. A sample survey was administered to tertiary English language students, studying at CPIT, Christchurch, New Zealand’s ESOL Department to investigate the value of the education market to domestic tourism.
