Tourism Week 2026 Heads to the Gold Coast — What It Means for Local Business

Big news is coming for the Gold Coast's business community, and it's worth marking your calendars now.

Queensland Tourism Week 2026 is heading to our backyard, with the Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre hosting three days of major industry events from 4–6 November 2026.

The program brings together DestinationIQ, DestinationQ, EventsQ, and the Queensland tourism industry under one roof — representing some of the biggest conversations shaping the state's visitor economy.

For Mudgeeraba and broader Gold Coast businesses, this is a timely opportunity. When tourism leaders, operators, and decision-makers converge locally, it creates real openings — from networking with industry contacts to showcasing what our region has to offer visitors.

Whether you're directly in the tourism space or simply benefit from increased foot traffic and visitor spending, events of this scale have a ripple effect across the entire local economy. Now is a great time to start thinking about how your business can be part of the conversation — or at the very least, ready to make the most of it.

We'll be sharing more details as they come to hand. In the meantime, keep an eye on the MCC website and our member communications for updates on how the Chamber can help connect local businesses with this exciting opportunity.
