Te Waihou receives TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence
News
The South Waikato's Te Waihou Walkway and Blue Spring has been awarded a TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence.
TripAdvisor is the world's largest travel site for planning and booking trips. A feature of their service is user experience feedback. Travellers can rate attractions, accommodation, experiences on TripAdvisor on a 1 to 5 star rating scale.
"Everything and anything can be rated from delicious ice creams from a parlour in France to awesome accommodation at a motel in Brazil," said Council's Communications Manager Kerry Fabrie. "Every year TripAdvisor assess these ratings and issues Certificates of Excellence to those businesses or attractions that consistently achieve outstanding traveller reviews."
And our very own Te Waihou Walkway is a 2015 recipient.
Council's Chief Executive Craig Hobbs is proud of the achievement.
"We have always known that Te Waihou is a fantastic attraction," he said. "I am particularly proud of our parks team who are exceptionally dedicated to making Te Waihou the experience it is today.
"Considerable credit also goes to the many volunteers who work countless hours on the walkway; we should all be proud."
