A PROFILE OF SUCCESS -
from Mike's files
The continual growth soon established the company as one of the most successful, private owned Indigenous businesses in the Tourism Industry, delivering cutting edge, innovative and authentic cultural experiences.
Perfecting the balance between cultural integrity and economic viability in the delivery of cultural tourism experiences also grabbed the attention of tourism learning institutes, tourism and travel academies, and lead to the development of start-up cultural business workshops and keynote presentations at major economic forums.
The company’s success featured in a number of T.V documentaries eventually leading to the creation of our own highly rated 7-part television series ‘Tamaki Brothers in Hog Heaven’ promoting destinations, experiences, scenery, local characters and budding entrepreneurs looking at starting their own businesses.
One of the pillars to our success has been our ability to continually innovate and indentify new concepts in the delivery of experiences and therefore maintaining the WOW factor appealing to both Domestic, International and Educational markets. We have also acquired various tourism businesses to diversify our mix of visitor excursions ranging from adventure trails and treks to themed accommodation and major cultural events.
Mike now residing in Queensland Australia yet works extensively with indigenous people around the world including projects, tourism workshops and presentations with Cree and Blackfoot in Leithbridge, Val Dor and Vancouver Canada, Polynesians throughout the Pacific, Aboriginal mobs in Perth WA, Brewarrina NSW, South East Queensland and Maori in New Zealand.
