Queenstown. Photo: RNZA Queenstown business group is under fire for holding its first post-lockdown event at a hotel owned by a man who is reported to owe thousands of dollars to tour operators in the town. The Queenstown Chamber of Commerce yesterday advertised its first event for business owners in the town since Covid-19 decimated its economy, at The Grille by Eichardt's. The event, posted on the chamber's Facebook page, has raised criticism from some Queenstown tourist operators. Andrew Cox, Mayor Jim Boult and tour operators have been approached for comment.
