(firmenpresse) - Gold Coast Car Rental CEO: Rise in Business Visits Boosts Economy
While theres been a lot of media buzz about the soaring number of tourists thronging to Gold Coast in the past couple of years, its not just holidaying tourists behind the massive increase in visitor numbers. The number of business visitors who are making regular calls to the Australias Gold Coast has been taking off on a similar trajectory. And thats great news in terms of the Gold Coast economy, according to [Gold Coast Family Car Rentals](https://goldcoast.familycarrentals.com.au/) CEO, Darryl Essington-Wilson.
Darryl sees nothing but benefits for the city in the current rise in overall visitor numbers, and the fact that business tourists form a growing part of them. And Darryl is someone who knows how to seize opportunities when they present themselves. When the veteran accountant and business consultant arrived in Gold Coast in 2001 and decided to settle there, he bought a house and two car rental companies on the same day.
One in 10 Visit Gold Coast on Business
Visitors to the Gold Coast totalled about 11 million last year, and their financial contribution to the local economy topped AUD5 billion. And they werent all tourists. Seeing this economic injection into the city and the increasing number of business visitors among them is like music to the ears of this Gold City entrepreneur. He believes the growth in the number of business visitors is a testimony to the citys economic vibrancy which in turn points to a rise in business activity in general.
According to the 2017-2018 statistics released in March this year, close on 40% of those 11million visitors were overnighters, with an average stay of three to four nights. And nearly 400,000 of those were international and domestic visitors who did so for business reasons. A further 627 000 made day trips to the city for business reasons, bringing the total number of business visitors to over 1million, or just under 10% of the total number of visitors to Gold Coast City.
