Christchurch "a good base" for English rugby fans in New Zealand by Cheap Flights Booker UK

Christchurch will provide a good base for English rugby fans planning to travel to New Zealand for the World Cup next year, according to a tourism spokesman.

Gregg Anderson, Tourism New Zealand"s UK regional manager, pointed out that visitors can stay in Christchurch to see some of England"s matches or arrange trips to cities such as Dunedin and Auckland.

The city also provides opportunities to take day trips to locations like Kaikoura, which is famous for its whale watching.

Visitors can also head to some of the vineyards located throughout the Canterbury region.

"What you"ll see is a lot of people basing themselves in Christchurch for the match and then taking day trips and perhaps one or two overnight trips out of Christchurch, rather than spending a two- or three-week period there," Mr Anderson said.

Due to run from 9 September to 23 October next year, the Rugby World Cup will feature matches in several locations across New Zealand, including Rotorua, Wellington and Invercargill.
