Thanks for your bumper tourism Issue on Jan 4 And the reorganisation story of the old Fiordland Travel aka Real Journeys into the Wayfare group. It’s Good the Hutchins Family still hold some of old values from Les Hutchins days, when they use to listen to friends and locals. It was sad when progress sent the company into the high stakes management era and they moved HQ to Queenstown.
They say good luck is when preparation, ambition by chance strike opportunity. Current CEO Richard Lauder certainly managed to ride that wave, but in a high stakes game the fall can be hard when the wave breaks.
I just hope Mr Lauder takes time to reflect on the history of what was the greatest Fiordland enterprise, forged on old fashioned pride, thrift and service. And by those who believed in it.
