The Indonesian market is growing quickly for New Zealand.
For the year ending May this year, 21,248 Indonesians visited New Zealand, an increase of 26.1 per cent on the previous year. “The success of the three-episode special filmed over 10 days in the North Island last year proved that travel shows work well in the Indonesian market, so we were pleased to welcome

back to New Zealand,” said Steven Dixon, Tourism NZ’s regional manager for south and southeast Asia.
“Indonesia is a key market for New Zealand, and continues to show promising growth.” Chandrawinata also spent 10 action-packed days in the South Island recently.
“To find the right fit for this project we conducted opinion leader research in the Indonesian market. We were confident that Nadine’s celebrity status in Indonesia and her genuine passion for culture, nature and the outdoors made her an excellent fit for our brand, and our research solidified this with Nadine the top performer of all our evaluations.”
Chandrawinata has one million Instagram followers and content was also shared on My Trip My Adventure‘s Instagram account, which has almost three million followers.
Highlights of the South Island episodes include a walk on the Tasman Glacier, punting on the Avon River, a Ridgeline Adventures Tour in Wanaka and a Hydro Attack experience on Lake Wakatipu in Queenstown. The combined estimated advertising value of the two episodes is $1.2 million.
Chandrawinata said the South Island exceeded all her expectations.
“I had an incredible time in New Zealand. We saw so much, everything is so close. I went skydiving and bungy jumping for the first time and enjoyed beautiful scenery such as Lake Tekapo and Wanaka.”
The South Island campaign follows filming for two shows in the North Island last year.
Indonesia is New Zealand’s 25th biggest visitor market.
