 The
Whitsundays offers a lot more than pure beaches, blue skies, ultimate relaxation
and the opportunity to view Great Barrier Reef up close.
In fact, it is the perfect location to host your next meeting, conference or
event.
Just over an hour’s flight from
Brisbane and
Cairns, the Whitsundays is
ideally located and easily accessible. As you arrive, connecting ferries,
seaplanes and buses will be on hand to offer a spectacular scenic introduction
to your stay.
MICE venues are spotted all over the Whitsundays, including Club Med Lindeman
Island, Coral Sea Resort, Daydream Island Resort and Spa, Hamilton Island,
Hayman, Laguna Whitsundays, Long Island Resort and Santai Arlie Beach. These
facilities all have varied capacities, ranging from 10 people to 10,000 people.
“Since the relaunch of the Whitsundays in April/May of this year, more are
understanding what the Whitsundays has to offer in terms of events,” said
Michelle Armour, Marketing Director of Tourism Whitsundays.
If you are hosting a large event, then Hamilton Island will be sure to
satisfy your event planning woes. With a 1000 seat capacity convention centre
that incorporates an auditorium, 5 meeting rooms and a secretariat space,
Hamilton Island offers the largest MICE facilities available on the Whitsundays.
For those looking for a 5-star luxury resort experience, head on over to
Hayman Resort Whitsundays. With 244 well-appointed rooms located a stone throw away from the
coastline, it comes as no surprise that Hayman is a member of The Leading Hotels
of the World. This exclusive self-contained resort features 4 meeting areas, as
well as a 300 seat capacity theatre style room, perfect for private island
events.
To see the very best of the Whitsundays, jump onboard a Fantasea cruiser.
Fantasea is the largest cruise operator in the Whitsundays and was recently
inducted into the Hall of Fame as a Major Tourism Operator at the 2006
Queensland Tourism Awards. For conference and incentives, Fantasea offers
exclusive charters to
Reefworld and Whitehaven beach as well as luxury breakfast
and champagne sunset cruises. Let your delegates soak up the sun and enjoy the
top-deck views of the Whitsundays onboard one of Fantasea’s high-speed
catamarans.
“From leisure to business and events, backed by water-based and land-based
activities, diversity of experience really is the key message,” concluded Ms.
Armour. |
