Gold Coast toasts JAM
The Gold Coast has become the first Australian city to host the Japan Australia Mission Downunder (JAM Downunder) international travel trade forum.
More than 40 Japanese travel trade buyers have arrived on the Gold Coast.
JAM Downunder is a Tourism Australia initiative first introduced in 1992 and traditionally held annually at locations throughout Japan.
“Among the 40-plus buyers attending from Sapporo, Tokyo, Nagoya, Osaka and Fukuoka are the four major travel organisations that facilitate most Japanese group and individual itineraries,†said Gold Coast Tourism CEO Martin Winter.
Included in scheduled itineraries for Japanese buyers this week will be theme park visits to Dreamworld, Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary and Australian Outback Spectacular, jetboating, calm water cruises, tours of the Gold Coast hinterland, plus learn to surf classes.
