About the size of Colorado, New Zealand has a population of only 4 million, making it one of the world's least crowded countries. The most popular tourist destination in New Zealand is Milford Sound, South Island.
Major cities include Auckland, Christchurch and Wellington. Tourists also enjoy the indigenous Maori culture, the Bay of Islands, Rotorua natural geysers and hot springs, Waitomo glowworm caves, Kaikura whale watching and visiting the locations where Lord of the Rings was filmed.
