One such business, Heli Glenorchy, offers alpine and glacier helicopter flights around the area and into Milford Sound. With four employees, Heli Glenorchy is currently the only helicopter operator based in Glenorchy. Choosing Glenorchy as a base has proven to be a strategic move for Heli Glenorchy. In addition to Heli Glenorchy, another venture aiming to attract thrill-seekers is underway in Glenorchy. The emergence of tourism-focused businesses is not only boosting Glenorchy’s economy but also providing job opportunities for the local community.
