EARLY DAY TRAVEL
DEVELOPMENT OF TOURIST SERVICES. “Fifty Years in New Zealand," an article appearing in the November issue of the “Australian and New Zealand Travellers’ Gazette” gives some entertaining travel reminiscences and an interesting survey of the early history of Cook’s .Travel Service in New Zealand. It is fifty years since the firm opened its first office in this country. At that time travel arrangements were rough and haphazard but Cook's soon brought about changes which were the foundation on which the present day tourist industry of New Zealand was built. The story of the days of magnificent five-horse teams and high-built coaches, which sped round road corners with precipitous drops that tried the nerves of the occupants, makes interesting reading.
