About Us
This website together with its group of SH1 Business Directories is a unique concept seldom seen on the internet today.
SH1 Business Directories www.sh1directory.co.nz and
NZ Travellers Guide
www.travellersguide.co.nz are
websites that are owned by Timaru Tourist Promotions Limited. Its development
is the brainchild of a local Timaru businessman Ron E Bishop.
Ron is enthusiastic and passionate about promoting business and tourism
in his home town Timaru. He believes the City has the potential to become
a most popular tourist destination but it needs the local Timaru District
Council to opens its doors and encourage development.
Several years ago
Ron took it upon himself to launch a public appeal to build a 5 star
hotel and conference centre on the Hydro Grand Hotel site on the Timaru
Bay Hill overlooking Caroline Bay The little money he raised by his own
efforts was taken from him by the Timaru District Council and invested
against his will to help the Timaru District council build the Aorangi
Stadium now known as the ASB Events Centre.
Despite this major disappointment
he has given numerous suggestions to the Timaru District Council about
ways that Timaru could be promoted more effectively but unfortunately
all his suggestions have fallen on deaf ears. Ron is a man that does
not quit easily and he just looks for other ways to reach his goals.
Timaru people have said no to his ideas so now he is looking outside
the boundary of Timaru to share his talents as a promoter of business
and tourism in other towns.
Many years of trial and error have gone into building his website and
Ron is now ready to take it with him on the road to show businesses from
Bluff to North Cape and back along New Zealand’s SH1 State Highway One
what can be done on his website to showcase New Zealand.
Keep this website
handy and follow Ron’s Journey from one end of New Zealand to the other
as he records each day's travel on his blog www.travellersguide.co.nz You can also look forward to the book that will be published at the end of
his journey.
