Our Story

The journey of the Tourism Innovation Group (TIG) is a testament to the power of vision, innovation, and a relentless commitment to excellence.

Born from the same pioneering spirit that propelled Altitude Tours to the forefront of New Zealand’s tourism sector, TIG marks a new chapter in our journey toward becoming one of the premier tourism operators in New Zealand. It’s the group we’ve established to consolidate our leading tourism brands.

TIG Tourism

From humble beginnings

Our story began with a simple yet profound belief: that travel should be transformative, not just for the traveler but for the environment and communities that welcome them. This belief, nurtured by the founders of Altitude Tours, laid the groundwork for what would become a mission to innovate and elevate the tourism industry in New Zealand.

Uniting Under a Shared Vision

As we ventured into new territories, the formation of the Tourism Innovation Group marked a strategic expansion of our horizon. Our vision was clear—to lead the way in developing and acquiring exceptional New Zealand tourism businesses that share our ethos of innovation, sustainability, and unparalleled customer experiences.

The fusion of Altitude Tours’ customer-centric approach with TIG’s broader ambition has created a great position in the tourism industry, driving forward with creativity, passion, and an unwavering dedication to crafting unique and sustainable travel experiences.

Embodying Our Values in Every Endeavor

At the heart of TIG’s success are the core values we inherited from Altitude Tours: innovation, customer focus, sustainability, excellence, integrity, and respect. These values guide every decision we make, from the way we design our experiences to the businesses we create or acquire.

We believe in pushing the boundaries of what’s possible, leveraging our collective expertise to introduce concepts that transform how people experience the beauty of New Zealand. Our commitment to sustainability ensures that our innovations contribute positively to the preservation of our natural and cultural heritage.
