We’re so proud to be listed alongside these amazing operators as finalists for the New Zealand Tourism Awards

Thank you Air New Zealand and Visit Auckland for sponsoring our category! ✨

The Tourism Excellence Award recognises a small-medium tourism business (over $1.5 million and under $6 million annual turnover) that has the wellbeing of communities at its heart, is representative of our culture and values, has an excellent visitor experience at its core, it nurtures the natural environment and is brought to life by a profitable enterprise that shows a high level of responsibility.

Your four finalists for this year are:

-Hell's Gate
Judges thought Hell’s Gate is an impressive business and commended the quality of the long-term plans, staffing strategy, business metrics, their link to a Māori healthcare provider as well as their engagement with Predator Free New Zealand programme and commitment to the Tiaki promise.

- Ōpuke Thermal Pools & Spa
Judges applauded how Ōpuke had created an extra day of visiting for the area – and with it, huge economic benefit from attracting people into the region. They also commended both the business and environmental considerations, with the Carbon-zero footprint due to the solar array.

- Tauhara North Tourism - Te Pā Tū - New Zealand
Judges said Te Pā Tū has demonstrated once again an outstanding understanding of place to develop a unique experience for its manuhiri to move through. It’s a showcase and example of demonstrating pride of place and holistic outcomes for all involved.

- Ziptrek Ecotours Queenstown
Judges applauded the innovative sustainability approaches of Ziptrek, as well as commending the impressive leadership and way of looking after their people. This eco-tourism operator has earned renown for its inspiring, exciting business, delivering sustainability stories with a healthy dose of ziplining adventure on Queenstown’s iconic Bob's Peak.

The winner will be announced at the Awards Dinner on 6 November at Cordis, Auckland. Visit nztourismawards.org.nz to learn more about this year’s finalists!

Who loves (needs) coffee as much as us?! 😜☕️

This Mental Health Awareness Week the team are getting out and about. We know how important it is to move our bodies, treat ourselves (yes we need a sweet treat to go with that coffee!) and talk to people around us.

We nattered our way to Queenstown Gardens and it was a perfect start to our Wednesday!

Take time to check in with others and don’t forget there is support out there 🧠✨
