Sister Cities

Sister City relationships foster the growth of a mutual understanding and long-term friendship between countries and regions, as well as the communities within them. This bond allows for a continuous exchange of ideas and culture, and even facilitates development within the areas of trade and tourism.

Sister Cities aims to foster cross-border communications – a mutual exchange of ideas, people, and materials in a range of cultural, educational, youth, sports, municipal, professional, and technical projects. The establishment of sister city friendships stimulates interaction between people of different cultures and countries on a people-to-people basis.

QLDC enjoys sister city relationships with two other cities:

• Aspen, Colorado, USA
• Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China

Queenstown has also signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Ulsan City, in South Korea to work together on tourism and promotion.
