GC secures Amway incentive

DESTINATION Gold Coast has fended off competition from Tokyo and Hawaii, to land the hosting rights for the Amway Taiwan

2019 Leadership Seminar in November.

The five-day event is expected to generate $2.8 million for the local economy attracting more than 950 of Amway Taiwan’s top-selling distributors and representatives.

Queensland Tourism Industry Development Minister, Kate Jones, said securing the event was a coup for the state, with Cairns having hosted the Amway China event in June. “Winning the bid to secure a second Amway event for Queensland above other international competitors demonstrates the strength of our tourism offering and the importance of business events to Queensland’s tourism economy,” she said.
