TROPICAL HARBOUR CITY
the hub of Northern Australia
The top end of business
Darwin is a regional centre for energy and minerals with prosperous fishing, livestock and tourism industries. It has one of the strongest investment and growth forecasts in the country and is Australia’s gateway to Asia.
The great appeal of Darwin lies in its prosperous economy, the variety and accessibility of specialist industries and the myriad of memorable experiences that can enthuse even the most seasoned conference participants.
- Darwin and the region boast some of Australia’s specialists in the fields of mining, energy and resources, indigenous health, remote healthcare, remote education, agriculture, forestry, fisheries and tourism.
- The Menzies School of Health Research is the only Australian health and medical research institute with a primary focus on the health of Indigenous communities and people living in tropical and remote areas. Specialising in a range of disciplines, including epidemiology, sociology, anthropology, physiology, biochemistry, molecular biology, nutrition and clinical medicine, the Centre is an important asset to the Territory.
- Darwin’s location is ideally situated to attract interest from new members from the region, Australia and South East Asia.
- Being Australia’s newest convention and meetings destination, Darwin opens the opportunity to refresh and revitalise the conference program and thus increase delegate attendance.
- But what makes Darwin a compelling place is that aside from a thriving business climate, it also cultivates an enviable ‘people climate’. The city’s population of over 100,000 is comprised of 50 nationalities. Indigenous Australians are a vital presence in the life of the city, their art and culture are evident throughout the city.
