Queenstown Airport has become an important regional and international gateway for cycle tourism, with visitors able to start their trail journey from right outside the terminal and ride on a connected network of the Ngā Haerenga New Zealand Cycle Trails.
Mark Williams, CEO Queenstown Trails Trust
The Queenstown Trails Trust has built an exceptional network of trails that connect communities, encourage active transport, and help people experience some of the most spectacular landscapes in New Zealand.
They're an incredible asset for our community, as well as a popular drawcard for visitors from around the world, and Queenstown Airport is keen to see them developed further.
The airport is contributing $20,000 a year towards upgrading and expanding the Queenstown Trails network, which covers more than 200 kilometres. It also collaborates on promoting the trails and creating volunteering opportunities for staff.
