Event Details

Infrastructure New Zealand, in partnership with The Post, is pleased to invite you to join us on Thursday 16 October for Shaping Queenstown: The 2025 Tourism and Infrastructure Summit at the QT Hotel in Queenstown, proudly sponsored by Air New Zealand.

This high-level gathering will bring together influential infrastructure decision-makers, industry leaders, and political figures to explore how New Zealand can sustain and grow its tourism sector, starting at its beating heart, Queenstown.

Queenstown is the engine room of our $40-billion tourism economy, a global showcase for New Zealand’s natural beauty, and a test case for the infrastructure challenges and opportunities facing the nation. From transport links and water services to housing, energy, and visitor facilities, what happens here will help shape the future of tourism-driven infrastructure across the country.

This event will feature senior ministers, opposition spokespeople, local government leaders, and experts driving infrastructure planning and investment.
