Description

Welcome to the looptail. This is the extraordinary true story of Bruce Poon Tip and how, with nothing more than two credit cards and a burning desire to create an authentic, sustainable travel experience like nothing the world had ever seen, he created G Adventures, the world's most successful adventure travel company. G Adventures operates in more than 100 countries, on all seven continents, serves more than 100,000 customers every year - and is now a significant player in Australia. In this unique first-person account, Poon Tip reveals his unusual management secrets that allowed him to keep growing his company, his employees fully engaged and energised, and his customers extremely happy. This is a singularly stunning story of why community, culture and karma matter in business, and how one man's desire to do the right thing and generate profits can be blended into a win win for all involved. In this special Australian edition, Bruce Poon Tip writes about the unique experiences and lessons learned which have fuelled the growth of his Australian business, and also about how Australia really could be better at presenting itself to the world's travellers.
