The number of New Zealanders travelling internationally continues to grow year on year.

Data from Flight Centre - New Zealand’s largest travel retailer - shows a booking increase of 12% last month.

There were more than 600,000 bookings to destinations around the globe.

Hot spots include London, Los Angeles, Paris, Honolulu, San Francisco and Bali.

Brisbane is still the most popular international destination, with more than 20,000 bookings in June alone.

The increase in travel is being attributed to a combination of factors including consumer confidence, affordability and accessibility.
