Looking to build the next big thing in travel tech?

Queenstown is the ultimate launchpad for travel and hospitality tech with over 3 million visitors per annum

Since the launch of commercial bungy jumping, Queenstown has earned a global reputation as the world’s first adventure tourism cluster—where high-adrenaline experiences like jet boating, skydiving, rafting, and bungy were first brought together in one destination.

Driven by a bold, pioneering spirit, Queenstown has long been a place where new ideas are tested, refined, and launched.

Today, with over 3 million visitors annually, that same entrepreneurial energy is powering a new wave of tech innovation—Queenstown offers a unique southern hemisphere testing ground for tech solutions that enhance travel, tourism and hospitality experiences.

What is travel and hospitality tech

Think of travel and hospitality tech as the magic behind smoother check-ins, smarter itineraries, and stress-free adventures. It’s all about clever tools and platforms built by businesses that earn their stripes (and revenue) by making travel better—faster bookings, personalised stays, breezy transportation, and memorable tourism experiences.

From apps that know your dream destination before you do, to hotel systems that remember how you take your coffee, this sector blends convenience with wanderlust, helping travellers and industry pros alike level up their game.

Behind the scenes, these tech solutions empower operators with better workflows, data-driven decision-making, and time-saving automation—making it easier than ever to deliver exceptional service with less effort and more impact.
