Well it's unusual, but yes, we do. Here's Nick, co owner of Rankers, speaking asking questions in front of a thousand-fold crowd of glowworms in the mighty Bulmer Cavern, within the Kahurangi National Park.

For sure. Has to be. Every activity, attraction, transport, holiday park and Department of Conservation (DOC) experience in NZ is automatically eligible. Over 4000 experiences qualified for this year's awards.

Sure does. 39 winners and 40 finalists. It's a strength of our system. Our Awards cover NZ tourism.

Nothing. No forms to fill in. We've got the data from the people and the travellers, best judges of all.

You got all night?! Hey, seriously, Rankers is the people's site. This is the only travel award of its type in NZ where the people speak. So, award winners are those folk who look after other people best. If that's not good for you, I'm not Doctor Nick. Any more questions?

Experiences are assessed by travellers we meet on the road in NZ. Some reviews are also placed by the good folk that log into our site. They offer reviews, and ranking scores, from 1 to 10. These count over a full year, not just the current standing.

Some didn't have enough reviews to qualify.

Look, categories with the most...I mean, the most reviews and a number of strong qualifiers, they will have a winner and two finalists. Those with fewer reviews and qualifiers have less finalists. Fair's fair, you know.

One Category award. No multiple category award winners. The tourism operator gains their award in the category of highest achievement. Got a nice ring, don't you reckon: "Category of highest achievement"?

From the 39 category winners, 4 Supreme winners are chosen from the entire accommodation, transport, activities and attractions sectors.

Yep. This is our fourth series. And, like our Rankers website, interest is growing. Just like my thirst. Where's that little bottle? Ahhhh...Health beverage, y'know. Time's up! Cheers!
