Business Events Perth has unveiled a new interactive business event planner for event organisers to encourage conferences, exhibitions, and corporate and incentive events to the west coast.
As Western Australia prepares to transition to a ‘controlled border’ on November 14, the new online tool showcases the best of the state’s business event products by taking the user on a guided tour of the state’s unique meeting spaces, accommodation, gala function spaces and experiences.
Through compelling videos and cleverly placed questions, users are engaged in a ‘choose your own adventure’ style journey through Western Australia with their personal driver, Alan.
After the user has taken a tour of the hotels, and their choice of indoor and outdoor venues, Alan will also reveal the experiences – such as visiting the world’s largest fringing reef and snapping a selfie with the Quokka – that Western Australia can offer.
From November 14, interstate visitors from Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania, the Australian Capital Territory and the Northern Territory, which are considered ‘very low risk’ areas (with no community cases for the past 28 days) will be allowed to travel into Western Australia, and will no longer be required to self-quarantine.
Those travelling from New South Wales and Victoria will be allowed to enter Western Australia but will have to isolate for 14 days in a suitable location on arrival.
Business Events Perth chief executive Gareth Martin said Western Australia couldn’t wait to welcome interstate business event delegates back.
“While our borders have been closed, the local business event industry has innovated in response to restrictions to accommodate the ‘new normal’ for business events. As early as July, Western Australia held the country’s first large scale business event, with Covid-19 safety protocols in place.
“We’re ready to welcome back interstate delegates to share our amazing state and demonstrate how to event here safely.”
