Queenstown's hospitality and adventure tourism industry leaders

The diploma was developed by the college in consultation with Queenstown's hospitality and adventure tourism industry leaders and was evolving in line with industry trends. An industry advisory board regularly critiqued it to ensure relevancy and accuracy. QRC Head of Tourism Dr John Cossens said he was delighted with the calibre of the graduating students, which ensured the future of the industry was in good hands.

After teaching and getting to know these students, I feel confident in saying that New Zealand's adventure tourism future certainly looks bright, with the wealth of very talented and motivated young people going out into the workforce. I think they will really make a difference to our industry both here and overseas."
