How beautiful is Tropical North Queensland at this

How beautiful is Tropical North Queensland at this time of year….well…..anytime of year! 😍

Last week, we were hosted by @shangrilacairns for an industry famil of their amazing waterfront property. With the premier location in Cairns, this hotel has so much to offer for delegates. Close to everything - but secluded enough to provide a real sense of all that region offers. The team at the Shangri-La Cairns pulled out all the stops with exceptional onsite hospitality and tours of some of Cairns & FNQ’s best conference and event locations.

Some of the great experiences included the unique event spaces @tanksartscentre the thrills of @skyparkcairns the award winning cuisine of Nicko Holloway from @nunurestaurant and the magic that only @reefmagiccairns provide with their new, state of the art outer Barrier Reef pontoon and first class vessels. We were also lucky to be given a very small part in the world leading reef rehabilitation that the team @gbrbiology are doing to restore the reef from recent large scale weather impacts.

A group of exceptional operators, all providing amazing experiences for delegates!

Thanks @shangrilacairns! We look forward to working with you soon! 💯
