Makeover For Gold Coast Amidst Stiff Competition Return to Headlines
Following a state campaign by Queensland, Gold Coast Tourism Corporation has launched its new brand – Gold Coast, Famous for Fun. This move comes as Australia faces stiffer competition from destinations such as Europe and the USA. The new marketing initiative will focus on the tourist’s emotion, highlighting the different types of fun experiences such as beaches, theme parks, entertainment and hinterland, replacing the previous brand – Very Gold Coast, Very GC, which focused on the city rather than the holiday experience.

The six hotels are expected to open in the next three to five years and will add to the group’s current portfolio of 12 hotels in India.

With over 60 hotels currently and 86 new hotels in the pipeline, China is now Starwood’s second largest hotel market worldwide, behind only the USA.
