A New Zealand entrepreneur has been named a Top Travel
Specialist for 2011.
Jacqui Spice was selected by American Condé Nast Traveler as one
of its Top Travel Specialists for her work as CEO of Touch of
Spice.
Ms Spice established touch of Spice in 2005. It offers a
concierge service operating 24/7, 365 days a year.
Ms Spice set up the company after returning from working on
luxury super yachts in Europe.
"I saw there was a gap in the market. We have a stunningly
beautiful country but no one was providing a high level service
operation based on meticulous attention to detail that high-end
clients expect," Ms Spice says.
As part of its service Touch of Spice offers high-end villas
throughout New Zealand and this has seen Ms Spice awarded Condé
Nast Traveler Top Villa Specialist award three consecutive times
from 2009-2011 and she is the only New Zealander to have won the
award.
