Overseas visitors may need an extra nudge to come here, even with relaxed visa requirements aiming to attract digital nomads to spend more.

From today, people on visitor visas can work remotely here for overseas companies.

Accommodation provider LyLo director Tim Alpe says it'll suit foreign tourists - but the challenge is telling them about it.

"We've got to get out internationally, we've got to go to big trade shows, we've got to be telling people that actually - New Zealand is a great destination for that."
