This is Gold Coast (TIGC) is an annual event for Destination Gold Coast to build its local business events pipeline. The 2022 famil garnered the region a record in business lead value.
“Last year, our TIGC familiarisation generated an impressive $47 million in leads for the city,” said Destination Gold Coast interim COO Rachel Hancock.
“We look forward to generating another record-breaking result on the back of this year’s familiarisation program.
“The Gold Coast is continually growing and transforming into one of the nation’s most vibrant destinations for conferences, meetings and incentive travel groups as well as growing a reputation as one of the most accessible and inclusive cities in Australia.
“TIGC23 presents an opportunity for professional conference organisers and decision-makers, to experience the city’s wealth of business event products, surrounded by incredible natural landscapes and world-class experiences that will stimulate the imagination, growth and development for their delegates,” said Hancock.
