Travel Daily | Chinese delegation impressed with Palmer Coolum Resort

The group from Wuhan in central China were in Australia as part of a fact-finding mission on the facilities Australian companies use for employee conferences and group bonding initiatives. They were focussed on researching several topics, including resort and cultural amenities, sports activities, health, relaxation and dining.

During his guided tour Mr Byrd highlighted the resort’s ability to cater for every possible need of a business delegation, leaving the travelling party smitten by the standard of facilities on offer.

“Palmer Coolum Resort is one of Australia’s best five-star, fully self-contained business and leisure facilities and we can host any style or size of event here. That made us an ideal venue for the visit of the Chinese delegation and we’re delighted they left here with an outstanding impression of both the resort and the region,” Mr Byrd said.

“Our Chinese visitors were very taken with how the resort fits seamlessly into the natural environment and were particularly interested in the large range of dining and leisure facilities available to business delegates. The fact that the resort is entirely self-contained, meaning guests can have every requirement taken care of without having to leave the property, was another very attractive element to the group.

“Many overseas businesses are attracted to the Sunshine Coast when they’re considering where to hold their major conferences or events each year. It’s up to us to capitalise on this and convert interest into clientele.

“The name of the resort may have changed recently, but nothing has altered in regard to our reputation for outstanding service and fantastic food and beverage. Indeed, our intention is to build on this even further and continue to service all our guests to the highest possible standards. This is a five-star resort with some of the finest conference and leisure facilities in the country, meaning we can cater for any event big or small,” he said.
