Destination Queenstown Organisation Changes

Destination Queenstown Organisation Changes

Queenstown, New Zealand (04 August, 2017) Queenstown’s Regional Tourism Organisation, Destination Queenstown (DQ), has recently undertaken a thorough review of its organisational structure to account for current and future demands and opportunities. Remaining nimble and adaptable has been an important principle of the organisation for many years and evolutionary change has been regular.

As Queenstown’s visitor markets and industry channels evolve, maintaining a suitably resourced organisation which is responsible for marketing New Zealand’s premier visitor destination and representing a large and diverse membership, is vitally important.

Finalised this week, a revised structure establishes a second Director role to sit alongside currentMarketing and Communications Director, Sarah O’Donnell. Sarah’s team is unchanged and has responsibility for DQ’s consumer marketing, communications, media, PR, social media and campaign partnership activity.

The newly established position of Business Development Director will oversee all channel sales and trade marketing activity including domestic and international travel trade, industry partnerships, business events (C&I) and Study. This position will also become the Director of the Queenstown Convention Bureau (QCB).

This team is currently made up of two international market managers, a QCB business development manager based in Melbourne, a QCB Marketing Executive and a Study Queenstown Business Development Manager. A new position of QCB Sales and Marketing manager has been created to focus on New Zealand domestic and targeted long haul business event opportunities. This overall business development structure adds resources and senior capability to the B2B channel teams.
