WELLINGTON, July 21 (Reuters) - New Zealand posted a seasonally adjusted net gain of 5,670 permanent and long-term migrants in June, resulting in a net gain of 69,100 for the year to June, data from Statistics New Zealand showed on Thursday.
The number of short-term visitors to New Zealand rose 11 on a year ago, due mainly to a 21 percent increase in holiday arrivals.
"A large increase of holiday-makers was driven by visitors from Australia, the United States, and China," said population statistics manager Jo-Anne Skinner.
