Free hotel nights on offer in Queenstown sweepstake
If you’re quick, there’s still time to enter Destination Queenstown’s sweepstake to give potential visitors the chance to win free hotel room nights during Rugby World Cup 2011.
The rooms are being provided by all 19 Queenstown members of the New Zealand Hotel Council.
Anyone from around the world is welcome to enter the spring sweepstake which will close at 9am Monday, August 8 (NZ time).
Destination Queenstown CEO Tony Everitt said some concerns about accommodation price gouging in New Zealand during RWC 2011 has been a hard perception to shake off, even though the reality is totally different.
“We’re aware that some people might be putting off a trip because they think accommodation may be expensive or hard to find.
“In fact here in Queenstown there’s still very good availability in our hotels and across all accommodation types and price ranges, from budget to five-star, during September and October,†he said.
To make the free rooms giveaway worthwhile, each of 150 winners will receive two consecutive nights for two people at their respective Queenstown hotel.
All details on how to enter the spring sweepstake can be found on the home page of Destination Queenstown’s website www.queenstownNZ.co.nz.
Air New Zealand is also helping spread the word with its more than 300,000 Facebook and Twitter followers around the world.
Winners will be drawn on August 8 and notified shortly after.
The offer is valid for bookings made between September 1 and October 31, 2011.
