Brits have given another thumbs up to New Zealand by voting it the world's 'dream destination' at the 2006 British Travel Awards in London.
Nearly 100,000 people voted in the dream destination category, which was introduced for the first time this year and featured nine other nominees - Barbados, Brazil, Dubai, Fiji, Hawaii, the Maldives, the Seychelles, South Africa and Australia.
Tourism New Zealand chief executive George Hickton said the award was pleasing on the back of a campaign tailored to the British market, which encourages people to "Come Now. If Not Sooner".
This year New Zealand has already been voted the 'coolest destination' and 'favourite long haul destination' in other British travel awards.
