Gusty gales and a forecast of snow couldn't keep the Southland Girls  High School Geographers away! The crown range had issued warnings for vehicles to carry snow chains, but Arrowtown appeared to be an eye in the storm with relatively calm weather compared to other areas in the Lakes District.

These keen students visited the Lakes District Museum to hear our geography presentation about Tourism in Queenstown. The topic covered issues such as how tourism has developed, attractions in the region, the negative and positive effects of tourism, and what the future of tourism will be like in Queenstown. As always the adventure tourism activities offered in Queenstown were a highlight for the students, as well as looking at old photographs of early tourists from the 1800's.

Did you find the visit valuable for your studies?
