Sounds too much like an advertisement. Needs to be revised to make it neutral, enciclopedia-style article.
but see the entry at Wikipedia:New Zealand Collaboration of the Fortnight#Contiki Tours for even more info. Moriori 02:35, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
This is essentially an advertisement, and needs cleaning or removing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.59.177.54 ( talk) 15:43, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
I've removed the section on Contiki being the source of "tiki tour". Orsman's '98 dictionary suggests that the phrase comes from a company of the same name, as opposed to a contraction of "contiki tour". He also notes that the use of the term "tiki" in brandnames was not uncommon in the past (e.g., Tiki-tape). The contiki link makes a good story, but at the moment it seems a little too close to original research, I think. -- Limegreen 11:44, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
Is the name taken from Kon-Tiki?-- ZayZayEM 08:16, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
