Rotorua’s Rainbow Springs Nature Park was announced the Supreme Winner of the Westpac Rotorua Business of the Year award at a gala ceremony held last Friday night in Rotorua.

The proud category winner of the Hospitality and Attractions section, Rainbow Springs Nature Park was up against Freo’s Café and Hotel Ibis Rotorua in this section and It is the first time that the iconic Rotorua attraction has won either of the awards, up against 26 other finalists from diverse sectors of the Rotorua business and tourism community. 

General Manager Stewart Brown was delighted to receive such recognition saying,  “Our staff has made an especially hard effort over the past 18 months and the awards are a reflection of their dedication and commitment”.  

The attraction has introduced new products in recent months including night tours and a new outdoor walk-through kiwi enclosure with the adjacent Kiwi Encounter facility having successfully hatched 108 kiwi chicks in the past year.  Rainbow Springs Nature Park also launched a combination product with neighbouring Mitai Maori Cultural Group.

The awards will be displayed in the customer service areas to reinforce the commitment of the attraction to quality and constantly striving for excellence and they signify and reinforce Rainbow Springs Nature Park’s iconic attraction status in Rotorua again.

The awards will also be used in marketing and promotional areas with Sales and Marketing Manager, Rob Finlayson saying, “We will include the awards details in our newsletters to travel agents and people on our database, including reference to it in our email signatures.”
