As an event city, Cairns will host the GC2018 Basketball competition in April next year and local businesses are encouraged to make the most of the opportunity.
Tourism Tropical North Queensland Director of Business and Tourism Events Rosie Douglas said next week’s briefing would update the Cairns business and tourism community on activities associated with the Games, as well as the benefits the event will ensure the region.
