A huge rebound from one tourist market, with a strong September result. 

Stats NZ data shows overseas arrivals soared to 273 thousand, 4% higher than the pre-pandemic record set in September 2019. 

Australia, America, and China are among the markets with the biggest jumps.

He says there's been a real turnaround, as a year ago it wasn't growing particularly well.
