One of the most unique places on earth, at the juncture of two World Heritage Sites, the city of Cairns is where business and leisure meet, writes Tara Bennett, general manager, partnerships and events, at Tourism Tropical North Queensland.
When was the last time you were in Cairns? If it was before that global hiccup of COVID-19, you might have memories of pubs pouring XXXX Gold, and takeaway boltholes on the Esplanade. However, Cairns is now a modern city that combines sophistication with a laidback, welcoming atmosphere full of surprises at every turn.
The city offers a perfect blend of serious business events and leisure, against a backdrop of paradise. Peel back the top layer the region is best known for – the gateway to two World Heritage icons, the Great Barrier Reef and ancient Wet Tropics Rainforest – and prepare to be wowed.
Tropical North Queensland boasts a thriving business events industry featuring world-class conference facilities, contemporary restaurants, laneways and rooftop bars.
The latest innovative space, Mexicairns (pictured, above), has brought the concept of competitive social events to life, offering a unique venue for groups up to 500 people – perfect for an ice-breaking welcome reception to encourage genuine delegate connections.
The Crystalbrook Collection’s addition of three five-star resorts to the city’s inventory has added 800 rooms and 16 new food and beverage outlets. This has sparked a renaissance in the region, leading many hotels to undergo refurbishments, with plenty more to come.
The Esplanade Dining Precinct, redeveloped in 2021, is the city’s centrepiece, with vibrant new dining options and stunning green space along the boardwalk for delegates seeking an early morning walk before conferencing.
Cairns Convention Centre’s expansion showpiece – floor-to-ceiling glass – brings the local environment to delegates with stunning views of surrounding mountains and beyond. The venue features Queensland timbers, reef-and-rainforest-inspired decor, and an extensive First Nations art collection.
Cairns Airport is just 10 minutes from CBD hotels, which means delegates can take off their jackets and throw down a towel by the pool in record time.
In addition to the recently refurbished and expanded domestic terminal, the airport’s international terminal is undergoing a major refurbishment as the region offers new direct flights to Christchurch and Fiji, and the return of direct flights to Hong Kong.
We encourage anyone who has not been to Cairns in the past five years to put the region at the top of the list – you won’t be disappointed.

We do not take money from any political parties. We do not endorse India’s ruling party BJP and India’s Prime Minister’s position on keeping India a closed market, ambiguous economy, and keeping India as a heavy taxing country so no one from outside world wants to do business here. It’s like denying India its right in the world…
BJP Government also discourages small and local media, coming down on them heavily regulating and using lawful actions along with soft threats from demented bureaucrat extremists and other extremist groups. On one hand, the mainstream media in India is getting rich and on other hand the local small media is being strangulated. So if not automated or required, We do not willfully publish any content from India or pertaining to that country.
