So what does New Zealand have to offer you?
New Zealand is a country of amazing landscapes, full of lush forests and unique wildlife. The weather is pleasant and mild, ideal for many types of outdoor activities.
People from diverse cultures and backgrounds make up the New Zealand society, well known for our honest and friendly openness, the Kiwi hospitality and culture impress all who settle here. You will also find that New Zealand is one of the safest countries worldwide.
 History
New Zealand has been dubbed 'the youngest country on earth' because it was the last major landmass to be discovered. New Zealand has a rich and fascinating history and culture, reflecting both the Maori and European heritage.
Historic sites are scattered across the country with many amazing Maori archaeological sites coexisting with colonial buildings. Today New Zealand cities are multicultural and diverse and show what an amazing place this country has become.
 Nature
Stunning rugged landscapes, gorgeous beaches, often spectacular geothermal and volcanic activity, a temperate climate and fascinating animal and plant life make New Zealand an unspoiled paradise.
One of New Zealand's best features is that many of our natural environments are so close together that in a matter of hours you can visit remote alpine areas and then after a short drive find yourself on a beautiful deserted beach.
 Culture
New Zealand has a unique culture. The indigenous Maori people have had an effect on the culture of all New Zealanders from our language to our arts and even to our accents. Situated in the South Pacific, with a love of the outdoors, sports, and the arts, New Zealanders and their culture are unique in the world.
 Government and Economy
New Zealand is a well developed nation. Although we are a sovereign country in our own right with only casual ties to Britain though our membership of the British Commonwealth, our government system is based on the British parliamentary system. Our economy is strong and robust, and we enjoy a modern affluent life-style.
