Over 5,000+ hotel rooms within 10 minutes of major venues
Direct access to Brisbane Airport and Gold Coast Airport
Premium beachfront convention precincts
Rainforest and hinterland retreat options within 60 minutes
Year-round outdoor climate for experiences and activations

Cost Benefit Analysis: Why Using Thrill Delivers Higher ROI
Most corporate event budgets fail due to fragmented suppliers, hidden logistics costs, and low engagement outcomes.
Thrill replaces fragmentation with integrated delivery.
Traditional Model:
Multiple vendors (venue, transport, activities, staffing)
15–25% coordination inefficiency cost
Low delegate engagement (often <55% active participation)
Limited post-event behavioural change
Thrill Integrated Model:
Single-point delivery across all services
Reduced coordination overhead by up to 30%
Engagement rates exceeding 85% through curated experiences
Measurable post-event collaboration lift
ROI Impact Metrics (Average Corporate Program)
After implementing Thrill-managed destination programs:
+38% increase in delegate engagement scores
+27% improvement in cross-team collaboration post-event
+42% increase in NPS (Net Promoter Score) for internal conferences
+25% reduction in total event coordination time for organisers
Improved talent retention indicators following incentive programs
For booking coordinators, this translates into fewer suppliers to manage, clearer accountability, and significantly reduced operational stress.
Measurable Outcomes for Delegates & Organisers
