Has the recession negatively affected travel and holidays for you?

An almost even split of New Zealanders said the recession either has had a negative effect on their travel plans (49%), or it hasn’t (51%). Slightly more females said it has (52%), as did noticeably more people aged 45-54 years (60%).


Do you have any planned purchases in the next six months of over $2000 and if so what are they?

The main big spend items will be cars (13%), holidays (9%), and house renovations or maintenance (7%), which are similar to what has been found in the two previous surveys.
