iTrek New Zealand targets independent travel market

iTrek New Zealand, a newly founded hiking and adventure activity company, is aimed squarely at a niche market of independent travellers.

The company, formed by Southlanders George and Mary Scott, focuses on individuals and small groups wanting unique, personalised New Zealand outdoor experiences.

As well as being hosted in their Wanaka home, clients will also have the option of touring the Scott’s farm near Gore before or after their professionally guided activities organised for them.

iTrek New Zealand creates individual itineraries for visitors, with a choice of hiking, rafting and other activities throughout the South Island with the country’s top operators.

The company’s recently launched website www.iTreknewzealand.com offers a range of hikes, from the classic Great Walks such as the Milford Track, to more remote and demanding backcountry adventures.

iTrek New Zealand offers a complete service package with airport pick up and drop offs, to home cooked meals and a selection of high quality accommodation options.

The company was formed after George Scott, an experienced traveller and trekker travelled with iTrek Nepal and wanted to replicate the ‘total service’ concept in his native New Zealand.

For the last three decades George has sought out and enjoyed many of New Zealand’s tracks with one of his highlights being guided to the top of Mt Aspiring near Lake Wanaka.

He has hiked extensively in Austria, Italy, China and Nepal as well as travelling with his wife Mary through Asia, Europe and Australia.
