The Auckland tours company ‘Coast to Coast Tours’, has recently been announced a finalist in this year’s Manaakitanga [Hospitality] Awards.
4 finalists were chosen from each of the 16 categories, with Coast to Coast Tours a finalist in the Sustainability section.
Sustainability is pivotal of this Eco-tour’s operation, as owner/operator hosts Donna and Stuart Hamilton, were innovators of a unique-to-Auckland Carbon Credit Native tree planting project on their 100-acre west Auckland sheep farm.
Becoming a finalist in the Sustainability category is quite an achievement for this [small] company, especially after the struggle the operator’s have been through to obtain the legal covenants which protect the trees and land where they are planted on.
