Queenstown and Wanaka
When it comes to choosing a destination that leaves a lasting impression on delegates, few places can compete with the natural splendour and world-class amenities of Queenstown.
Surrounded by dramatic alpine landscapes and nestled beside the crystal-clear waters of Lake Wakatipu, Queenstown offers more than just a breathtaking backdrop – it delivers a setting that inspires fresh thinking, meaningful connections, and unforgettable experiences.
With its distinct four seasons, versatile venues, high-end accommodation, and endless opportunities for incentive activities, Queenstown seamlessly blends business with pleasure. Add in excellent air connectivity, a thriving food and wine scene, and a local culture that prides itself on warm hospitality and innovation, and it’s easy to see why this South Island gem continues to be a standout destination for conferences, meetings and corporate retreats.
“From a business events’ perspective – and if you think particularly about doing a conference – we have this incredible setting,” says Mat Woods, chief executive at Destination Queenstown.
“Your conference isn’t inside those traditional four walls where you don’t get to see outside. So, coming to a place like Queenstown, when you’re in nature, it gets you starting to think differently.”
That connection to the natural landscape is more than just aesthetic. “The nature and beauty that we have really appeals to people. It gets them thinking creatively and inspires them,” Woods says.
