Graham Budd, the incumbent marketing general manager of the regional tourism organisation was appointed to the top job and began his first day yesterday, Destination Queenstown chairman Mark Quickfall has announced.

Mr Budd replaced former chief executive Tony Everitt, who left the organisation at the end of April to join Tourism New Zealand's executive team as Asian markets general manager.

Mr Budd said he was looking forward to the challenges and opportunities.

"I'm very proud to have the opportunity to lead a great team who already do a fantastic job for our community in promoting and representing Queenstown around the world," he said.
