Fine Art Tours NZ is pleased to announce a merger with Auckland food tour operator, Finding Flavour and shopping tour operator, Finding Fashion.
The decision comes as a result of 18 months of collaboration between the three operators, who have worked together closely to deliver premium cultural experiences to their clients that go beyond what each operator could have achieved on their own.
Finding Flavour and Finding Fashion Director, Lynn Huhtala, says the decision was the next logical step for her businesses.
“Our collaboration with Fine Art Tours NZ has been extremely positive and resulted in new opportunities for Finding Flavour and Finding Fashion. We wish to focus on the premium end of the market, providing visitors to New Zealand with the opportunity to discover what makes our culture unique in the world. I’m thrilled to be working under the Fine Art Tours NZ brand.”
Jacqui Wilkinson, Director of Fine Art Tours NZ, says the merger will enable her company to provide clients with more comprehensive cultural experiences during their visit to New Zealand.
“For a small nation, New Zealand has more than our fair share of internationally recognised artists, designers, chefs, winemakers, musicians and thinkers.
“We are a country of visionaries, creatives, innovators and entrepreneurs. This merger allows us to showcase a broader range of exclusive, design led experiences for our clients.
“The opportunity to collaborate with Lynn, a veteran of the New Zealand tourism industry, has produced positive results and we’re excited about where we’re headed together.”
Fine Art Tours NZ specialise in curated cultural experiences for more discerning, creatively minded travellers. These tours are designed to inspire and connect travellers with the unique artisan communities of New Zealand.
Finding Flavour and Finding Fashion will move their organised tours, customised and conference offerings under the Fine Art Tours NZ brand from January 1st 2016.
