RECORD WINS FOR GC

IT’S been a record year for events on the Gold Coast, with Destination Gold Coast Business Events announcing it secured 158 national and international business events in the 12 months to Jun 2018.

Director of Global Business Events Anna Case said the results showed how popular the city was becoming.

“We know conferences on the Gold Coast typically attract record numbers; conference delegates love the winning combination of our sun-kissed beaches, experiences and cuisine,” she said. “This message is obviously coming through loud and clear to conference decision makers, as reflected in these record breaking results.”

Case added that further factors contributing to the city’s appeal were the “high service standards of a huge international city, but with the benefits of a compact, easily accessible beachside destination”.
