Rugby and Māori winning tourism mix
A tour operator which offers travellers insights into rugby and Māori culture has won the Best Emerging Business category of this year's ExportNZ Bay of Plenty Awards.
Manaaki Adventures offers customised packages to suit the student market for education, adventure, service, culture and sports tours, as well as rugby tours for teams of all ages.
Touring parties get the opportunity to tap into some of the best educational and rugby brains the country has to offer, while getting an authentic insight into Māori culture.
Judges commended them for leveraging existing experience, learning from others and upskilling themselves to set themselves up for success, which has paid off with 100 per cent growth in turnover year on year.
