Queenstown named most influential destination at C&I awards

Queenstown has been named the ‘most influential destination’ in the 2018 Goldfinger Awards in China.

The Goldfinger Awards have been held in China for 10 years and are very well known within the China event industry. The event attracts around 800 attendees and covers the likes of PCOs, destinations, travel agencies and hotels.

Queenstown was the host destination of the 2018 Amway China’s Leadership Seminar incentive programme. The event involved 6,300 delegates in 11 waves across seven weeks. The success of this event saw Amway China’s business owners rating the Queenstown programme one of the best ever, with a satisfaction rating of 96%. The event’s success has now put Queenstown and New Zealand on the map for hosting large incentive groups.

“We are delighted to win this award,” says Kiran Nambiar, Queenstown Convention Bureau Director. “This is a significant acknowledgement and recognises the work the Queenstown Convention Bureau and Queenstown operators have been doing in Asia to raise the profile of Queenstown as a world class incentive destination.”

The awards ceremony is being held in Shanghai tonight, 7 November, and the award will be collected on Destination Queenstown’s behalf.

Public Housing Futures: Christmas Comes Early For Landlords

New CTU analysis of the National & ACT coalition agreement has shown the cost of returning interest deductibility to landlords is an extra $900M on top of National’s original proposal.

Green Party: Petition To Save Oil & Gas Ban

“The new Government’s plan to expand oil and gas exploration is as dangerous as it is unscientific. Whatever you think about the new government, there is simply no mandate to trash the climate. We need to come together to stop them,” says James Shaw. More

PSA: MFAT Must Reverse Decision To Remove Te Reo

MFAT's decision to remove te reo from correspondence before new Ministers are sworn in risks undermining the important progress the public sector has made in honouring te Tiriti. "We are very disappointed in what is a backward decision - it simply seems to be a Ministry bowing to the racist rhetoric we heard on the election campaign trail," says Marcia Puru.
