AMWAY THAILAND INCENTIVE EVENT: A GOLD COAST SUCCESS
In 2023, Experience Gold Coast, with support from Tourism and Events Queensland and Tourism Australia, secured Amway Thailand for an incentive event in April 2025.
The incentive was confirmed after a BEA Familiarisation was hosted on the Gold Coast where the client experienced the destination and our unique offerings for incentive delegates. Over the past two years, we’ve worked closely with Amway to shape the itinerary for a five-day program, hosting over 700 delegates on the Gold Coast.
Yoshimi, Andrea and Brooke attended the Gala Dinner at Movie World, supporting the client, Jeannie, and Amway Thailand. The evening was a resounding success, with stunning outfits, perfect weather, rides, and fireworks - complemented by 5-star hospitality.
Incentive events play a key role in the business events sector, and it’s always rewarding to see them succeed and create lasting memories for clients.
COUNTDOWN TO EGC’S BUSINESS EVENTS ROADSHOW IN CHINA AND TAIWAN
We are just over six weeks away before the first Experience Gold Coast (EGC) China and Taiwan Roadshow. EGC’s Brooke Campbell and Wendy Gu along with industry partners Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre, The Star Gold Coast and Village Roadshow Theme Parks will visit Shanghai, Beijing and Guangzhou providing a destination update to corporate and MICE agents.
In addition, the first destination will be Taipei, with support from Tourism and Events Queensland where we will host a seminar to corporate and MICE agents. The showcase is an opportunity to profile the Gold Coast as a premier business events destination for incentives and reestablish our relationship with clients in market.
