AUSTRALIA - UNIQUE IN SO MANY WAYS

Australia is unique in so many ways. A land of vibrant colours, breathtakingly beautiful scenery and clean air, where most of the 20 million inhabitants live in sophisticated, world-class coastal cities. It is an ancient land with a young attitude.

From the energetic cities and magical outback, to the relaxed coastal lifestyle and inspiring Aboriginal heritage – Australia is a picture of amazing diversity, contrasts and natural wonders. From the ancient rock Uluṟu (Ayers Rock) to the Great Barrier Reef, Australia’s Red Centre reaches out to a magnificent coastline.

Australia is recognised for its integrity, authenticity, genuine warmth and track record in delivering outstanding business events, including meetings, incentives, conventions and exhibitions.

Gain an insight into Australian culture, which is founded on notions of a 'fair go', love of the great outdoors and a dry sense of humour. Learn more about Australians – our Aboriginal culture, our legendary folk heroes, modern day heroes and the diverse nationalities that make up modern Australian society.

Australia is one of the most multicultural societies in the world, where over 200 languages are spoken. There are diverse religious and cultural activities and huge variety in foods, restaurants, fashion and architecture.

You'll find Brisbane innovative, vibrant and set to become Australia’s high-end food destination. Adelaide is elegant and Perth is a scenic city where there is an abundance of water sports.
