GOLD COAST READY TO WELCOME GC2018 COMMONWEALTH GAMES VISITORS

One year from Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games, Gold Coast Tourism has published advice for ticket holders looking to secure accommodation for the biggest event to be staged in Australia in a decade.

Gold Coast Tourism's 'Top Tips to Securing your GC2018 Accommodation' is designed to assist those visiting the city for The Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth GamesTM which runs from 4 - 15 April 2018.

“The Gold Coast welcomes 13.7 million overnight visitors each year and I'm confident that our destination is well placed to meet the expected additional room demand in April 2018,” said Gold Coast Tourism CEO Martin Winter.

TOP TIPS TO SECURING YOUR GOLD COAST 2018 ACCOMMODATION

1. CHECK OUT OUR ACCOMMODATION LISTING

2. BROADEN YOUR HORIZONS
   Our city by the sea has accommodation options stretching the entire length and breadth of the coast. Take the opportunity to explore beyond Surfers Paradise and uncover parts of the Gold Coast that you may not have been to yet.
3. CONSIDER ALL OPTIONS
   While the Gold Coast is known for its towering hotels and family resorts, you may want to extend your search to include homestay, Airbnb, camping and tourist parks.
4. EXTEND YOUR STAY
   As with many popular holiday destinations, accommodation providers may require a minimum length of stay during peak periods. So, when searching for accommodation, it is best to seek at least 5 nights.
