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. |
