A design and project consultancy with its New Zealand base at 200 School Road in Waimauku, north-west of Auckland. The company describes itself as a global creative consultancy for nature-based entertainment and tourism projects.
Its website traces the business to 1972, when R.K. Traviss Design was founded in the Bay of Islands as an architecture firm. Over time it has worked on aquariums, nature parks, botanic gardens, water parks, discovery centres, wellness centres and tourism masterplans. The website says the company has completed more than 1,100 projects, and lists core teams in New Zealand, India, Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia, Russia and South Africa.
The company is not a retail or public venue. Clients are governments, councils and developers who are building or planning a nature-based attraction or tourism development.
