Tekapo Springs general manager Jenny Koberstein said the event was a way to give back to the community that stood by the business through Covid-19. “Despite all the adversity, Kiwis have picked themselves up and shown tremendous support towards tourism businesses such as Tekapo Springs. “This support has ultimately allowed our business to continue to operate and we are just so thrilled that we have been able to retain all our team members,” Koberstein said.
