The mountains in the Lakes District look fantastic with the snow we keep getting in the region, but it does make driving conditions pretty tricky. Fortunately James Hargest College from Invercargill are pretty used to chilly weather!

Yesterday afternoon we used the St John's Presbyterian Church Hall for our Geography presentation, as the group of year 13 students was a rather large booking. The facilities at the Church hall were modern, warm, and comfortable. A welcome respite from the cold weather outside.

Students found the events and festivals that Queenstown offers throughout the year an interesting practice to encourage visitors into the area throughout the different seasons. Our peak tourist seasons are usually winter and summer, with spring and autumn as our shoulder seasons.

Do you think this is an effective way to get tourists to visit Queenstown?

What are some negative effects of tourism on Queenstown?

Did you find the presentation useful?

Thanks James Hargest, have a safe trip home!
