 Queenstown Park Boutique Hotel in Queenstown, New Zealand has gained a Qualmark Enviro-Bronze Award, recognising its high standards in environmental practices. 

To earn New Zealand tourism’s official environmental award, Queenstown Park Boutique Hotel had to show effectiveness in energy efficiency, waste management and water conservation, with community activities and conservation initiatives also considered under Qualmark’s environmental criteria. 

Manager John Etheridge, says “I am pleased that the initiatives that were implemented right from the build stage have been recognised as we put a huge value on New Zealand’s environment. We have worked and continue to work in numerous areas as we can see the true benefits to our overall well being not only the environmental but also those gained through economies for the business”.

Accommodation, activities and transport businesses carrying the Qualmark® logo have been independently assessed to meet tough quality standards and environmental criteria - earning New Zealand tourism’s official quality mark. Qualmark is jointly owned by Tourism New Zealand and the New Zealand Automobile Association. The program is run as an industry service, on a not-for-profit basis.
