Lee Thomas, EVP ALTOUR, President of The Travel Authority
Where did you Just Get Back from? Queenstown, New Zealand
When were you in New Zealand? May 2016
Words to describe what you felt when you first arrived: When I first landed it almost felt like I just landed in a vibrant ski town that was full of life and excitement.
Where did you stay? Sofitel Queenstown Hotel
With whom would you recommend staying at this hotel? I
would say that this hotel is best suited for people who love the
outdoors. It had a great atmosphere that would be great for couples, and
both small families and larger extended family. A very friendly,
welcoming, & outdoorsy atmosphere that is sure to please all guests.
Tempt us- Name the most special place you discovered on this trip: One
of my favorite activities that I was able to participate in during this
trip had to be bungee jumping off the Kawarau Bridge, which is known as
the world’s first bungee jump! They are also the only place in
Queenstown that will allow you to do a tandem bungee jump — if you bring
a partner that’s brave enough.
What’s the best time of year to go in your opinion?
It really depends on what you are most interested in as they have all 4
seasons. I was there in May and the ski resorts were scheduled to be
open soon. Mornings were chilly and the afternoons cool. I would suggest
a little earlier in the year for water lovers.
