Description

What happens when bold ideas meet big mountains? In this episode, Paddy Kluts sits down with Brad Rowe to explore the evolution of tourism in Queenstown through the lens of experience, innovation and connection.

From high-flying gondolas to gravity-defying mountain bike trails, Brad shares how Skyline is building unforgettable moments and reshaping the tourism model in Aotearoa. We talk big moves like the Queenstown cable car and small-but-mighty wins—like the legendary popsicle hotline at a Los Angeles hotel.

Brad unpacks how tech is transforming the visitor experience, why community collaboration matters more than ever, and what it takes to stay ahead in a fast-moving industry. Whether you're a tourism operator, a curious traveller, or a future-forward thinker, this one's for you.
