Wheels up on two decades (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As a hands-on Queenstown adventure tour operator, Kevin Hey would be among the few who have survived 20 years in business. Since taking his first customer on November 1, 2006, he has escorted tens of thousands of visitors on mainly one- and two-hour trips through his guiding business, Segway on Q.

The seed for the government’s recent Budget announcement of $79 million for additional wilding pine control funding over the next three years was planted during a Skyline Queenstown gondola ride last year. Joining Prime Minister Christopher Luxon and government MP Joseph Mooney was Whakatipu Wilding Control Group (WCG) chair Grant Hensman, who’s also a Skyline director. "I was lucky enough to get in the gondola with the PM through some connections, and I think he thought he was going to get a ta
