Queenstown, New Zealand (2 October, 2019) Two new members were elected to the Destination Queenstown Board at its Annual General Meeting on 25 September.

There were two Board positions up for re-election in FY19/20, the Activities sector position, and one of the two Accommodation positions.

Richard Thomas, who is a Board director of Skyline Enterprises, was elected to the Activities position.
