China's largest online outbound travel agent is planning to open its first southern hemisphere shopfront in Queenstown, details of which are still to be confirmed. It would also serve as a venue for the resort’s tourism operators to reach the Chinese market directly and learn more about Chinese culture and travel habits. This relationship with Qyer will enable us to promote autumn and spring to Chinese travellers." Qyer president and co-founder Cai Jinghui said the company was excited to extend its co-operation with DQ by working with members of the resort’s business community to benefit Chinese travellers. "I believe that our partnership will not only promote tourism and travel trade between the two sides, but also facilitate further cultural exchange between China and Queenstown," Mr Jinghui said.
