Board election tomorrow

Queenstown Airport's new chief executive is among those seeking election to the Destination Queenstown board, which will be elected at its annual meeting tomorrow.

There were three vacancies this year - one each in the activities, general and accommodation sectors.

In the latter, Chris Ehmann, general manager of Hilton Queenstown and Doubletree by Hilton Queenstown, is standing unopposed.

In the activities sector incumbent board chairman Matt Hollyer is nominated along with Andrew Husheer.

Mr Hollyer, Shotover Canyon Swing and Fox general manager, was first elected to the board in 2013 as the activities sector representative and became chairman 18 months ago.

Mr Husheer, Real Journeys operations manager, was previously Dart River Safaris business manager and also spent four years in Dunedin as Larnach Castle's general manager.

Incumbent Steve McLean, airport chief executive Colin Keel and Lisa Nilson are all vying for the vacancy in the general sector.

Registrations to vote closed at 5pm yesterday. The annual meeting will be held at The Heritage Hotel.
