International diversity at Queenstown’s Resort College

The educational institution Queenstown Resort College is celebrating a hotbed of international diversity by administering students from 13 countries this year.
For the first time, students from the USA, Venezuela and the Philippines are part of QRC’s diploma in either Adventure Tourism or Hospitality Management.
The July intake also features students from Canada, Sweden, Vietnam, China, Australia, Germany, Brazil, Fiji and India.
The fact that the award-winning college is attracting students from around the world is to be celebrated, says QRC’s International Marketing and Recruitment Manager Duncan Sadleir.
“We have created a new market in Queenstown and put the resort on the map as an education institution”, Sadleir said.
A policy of only taking five students from one country in any intake enables the college to create a diversity of cultures and international flavour in the classroom.
QRC undergoes an interview process, which guarantees the right mix of students. “We make sure we select students with the right personality and attitude to fit in with the QRC ‘family’ and the industry”, Sadleir said.
The quality of the QRC experience and the hard work of the international marketing team over the past three years was now reaping rewards on the worldwide educational stage, Sadleir said.
