tramping Tramping has by far the largest number of participants in the 5 activities we’re focused on in this publication. Trampers make up 67% of participation across the 5 activities we explored. Tramping also attracts many international visitors with close to half a million tourists exploring the tracks and mountains of New Zealand.
While there are more international people who tramp in New Zealand per annum, compared to New Zealanders, the frequency of how often they go and how long they spend tramping is very different. We estimate New Zealanders spend more time tramping and go on many more tramping trips per year.
