A recent PCO familiarisation to Port Douglas, hosted by Port Douglas Incentives and Business Events Cairns & Great Barrier Reef (BEC&GBR), enabled participants to get a ‘sneak peak’ at the new Mossman Gorge Gateway Centre prior to its official opening, as well as attend the launch of the sparkling new marketplace-style Bazaar restaurant at the recently-rebranded and refurbished QT Resort Port Douglas.
Port Douglas Incentives is a collective of 15 incentive specialist suppliers who operate in the Port Douglas region. They were especially keen to promote their What’s New in Port Douglas, a list of creative activity options for conference and incentive planners.

Day Two got off to a literal flying start with Breakfast with the Birds at Wildlife Habitat Port Douglas followed by exciting helicopter transfers to Silky Oaks Lodge.

Accommodation was provided at Sea Temple Resort, Sheraton Mirage and QT Port Douglas.
