It’s the truly unique offerings that can transform your next incentive from ordinary to extraordinary
Australia’s beautiful beaches and sweeping landscapes are well-known. State-of-the-art venues and world-class accommodation can be found in the cosmopolitan cities and paradise landscapes. This infrastructure is complemented by unique wildlife, top food and wine and countless experiences that deliver the ‘wow factor’.
It’s Australia’s diversity that will enable you to meet the demand for more innovative events and create the perfect programme, unrestricted by ‘one size fits all’ experiences.
Australia’s business events industry is equipped to deliver customised programmes that will boast once-in-a-lifetime incentive activities that will leave groups inspired.
As a popular destination for businesses and associations, many organisations are reporting real results from an event in Australia. It’s not just a destination of sandy beaches and outback adventures but a place that stimulates creative thinking, a fresh approach and business results.
Add the wow factor: think, a private recital at Sydney Opera House or a traditional feast in the outback prepared by a famous indigenous chef, exclusive dining under the stars at Uluru (one of Australia’s most famed landmarks) with a local astronomer.
Food and wine: think, foraging for delectable truffles before a private cooking demonstration by a renowned Australian chef; an exclusive wine tasting at the likes of Penfolds vineyard in the Barossa Valley; catching abalone off the coast of Kangaroo Island before enjoying a freshly caught feast on the island’s shores.
Major events: for a big bang, include a major Australian sporting event or festival. Consider the Australian Open tennis championships or Melbourne Racing Carnival, Vivid Sydney festival of music, light and ideas.

Australia has international airports in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Cairns, Darwin, Perth and Adelaide. Other major domestic airports include Gold Coast, Canberra, Alice Springs, Uluru and Hobart. Australian airports are modern and well-organised, so it's easy to find your way around. Transferring from an international flight to a domestic flight is fast and simple, providing easy access to your final destination.

Driving Australia's vast network of well-maintained roads is a great way to see some of the most beautiful parts of the country. Coach and train travel are also convenient, affordable and scenic ways to discover Australia.
