2450 hotel rooms are needed on Australia’s Sunshine Coast
Australia’s Sunshine Coast is emerging as the next hotel investment hotspot. With a gross regional product that has nearly doubled over the last decade to $23.73 billion, the region is booming economically and poised for further growth.
To meet the forecasted rise in visitor nights, an additional 2450 internationally-branded hotel rooms will be needed over the next decade. This significant undersupply creates a unique opportunity for forward-thinking investors and developers.
We extend an exclusive invitation to hotel investors seeking exceptional hotel development prospects amidst breath-taking coastal beauty. With targeted support and incentives from the Sunshine Coast Council, now is the time to invest in one of Australia’s fastest-growing regions.
