Lear Financial, New Zealand Bus Travel Company, Kiwi Experience, Wins Golden Backpacker Award
Auckland, New Zealand (PRWE
November 15, 2007 -- Kiwi Experience, the original 'hop-on, hop-off' New Zealand bus travel network , has won the 2007 TNT Golden Backpacker award for 'Best Package Tour in New Zealand'. Golden Backpacker Awards are coveted amongst tourism operators, because they are voted for by customers.
"We're absolutely thrilled to win the Golden Backpacker Award" said Brendon Pope, General Manager for Kiwi Experience. "It's a unique award, one which we are extremely proud of simply because it is voted for by backpackers and travellers themselves."
Kiwi Experience believes this award follows the addition of activities and inclusions to their core bus travel service, representing greater value for money than ever before for backpackers to New Zealand . Following comprehensive research, which praised Kiwi Experience as a uniquely New Zealand experience, the product has been further refined to offer even more of the country's culture, heritage and environment. This latest award shows that Kiwi Experience continues to lead the way in how to see the real New Zealand.
Kiwi Experience has been operating its New Zealand bus travel network for over 17 years and during this time has carried more passengers and won more tourism awards than any other backpacker transport operator. They also operate Feejee Experience and as part of The EX Group (a division of Tourism Holdings Limited) have recently introduced Explore More, a low cost car and campervan rental product aimed at backpackers and independent travellers heading to New Zealand.
