Invite your guests to contribute

Suggest a voluntary donation at the point of sale or make the first move and incorporate a donation into the cost of your product or experience. It’s a powerful way to demonstrate your commitment to this place and invites your customers to be part of the solution too. 

HOW IT WORKS
Add an opt-in donation into your online booking system, make the ask at the point of sale, or include a button-link in your pre- or post-booking comms.

Reach out to our team if you’d like to partner with us in this way. We’ll talk through the details then draw up a quick agreement with the terms and timeframes that work for you.

PERKS
Visitors are increasingly looking for ways to offset their impact and feel good about the activities and experiences they choose. Inviting them to make a donation makes it easy for them to do their bit, and it goes a long way to sharing your business’ values with them, too.

Share the love

It’s the telling of a new story about how to visit Queenstown and inspires the type of travel we hope to see going forward.
