Te-Anau, New Zealand – TIG Tourism is thrilled to announce its recent investment in Fiordland Tours, a leading tourism operator renowned for its exceptional day tours to Milford Sound and guided walks in Fiordland. Founded and operated by Ray Horrel, Fiordland Tours has been delivering top-tier travel experiences for over 15 years from its base in Te-Anau.
This investment marks a significant step for TIG Tourism as it aims to enhance and expand its offerings in the region. Fiordland Tours is celebrated for its dedication to a customer-centric approach and its commitment to small group tours, principles that align perfectly with TIG’s own philosophy and its subsidiary, Altitude Tours, which operates day tours to Milford Sound from Queenstown.
Graham Kinlan, TIG Group General Manager, expressed his enthusiasm about the acquisition, stating, “It’s rare to find a business that has such a focus on the customer experience. Integrating Fiordland Tours with our operations is a promising opportunity to enhance our service quality and expand our reach.”
The operation of Fiordland Tours will remain unchanged, ensuring that the high standards and unique offerings that have made their Milford Sound day tours the top-ranked from Te-Anau continue to thrive. TIG is committed to building on this foundation, focusing on improvements that will further elevate the customer experience.
Ray Horrel, the outgoing owner of Fiordland Tours, is confident in the transition, remarking, “Altitude has a great reputation for delivering exceptional tours, and they will be a great group to take Fiordland Tours on the next journey. I look forward to watching from the sidelines.”
This strategic acquisition will enhance TIG Tourism’s portfolio and ensure that current and future customers receive unforgettable travel experiences in New Zealand’s majestic Fiordland.
