SOME CASE STUDIES
PORIRUA ADVENTURE PARK

Select Contracts is developing a world-class tourism destination in Porirua, New Zealand.
The park is underpinned by a progression-built bike park with strong supporting attractions including an all-weather sightseeing gondola with panoramic views, 360º view from top station, with awe inspiring views to the North from the restaurant, the longest dual zip-line in the Southern Hemisphere at 1,410m, a deep-water standing surf wave attraction, the first in New Zealand and scenic tracks from adventurous trekking to accessible pathways.

Al Ain Adventure park is a surf and adventure park in UAE. featuring a 2.5-acre travelling wave surf pool (first in the world), Man-made whitewater rafting and kayaking, Cable wake park, Ziplines and climbing course, family swimming pools and other attractions
Select Contracts were hired for pre-opening development including setting up all operations and processes for the business. We redesigned and optimized the park to make it more family friendly in order to provide a sustainably profitably business model. We also Implemented a full operational system including SOPs focused on safety and quality guest experiences, company manuals and implementation of insurance documentation and recruited and implemented key staff and management roles
Once contracted, it was obvious that the project required additional attractions and services to offer guests, to ensure visitors remained within the venue for longer periods and increased spend. This was key to the ongoing profitability of the operation and us making sure the business model was successful was key to the project’s success beyond the remainder of the operational structure we provided.
