THE HEADLINE ACTS (OUR COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES)
Port Douglas Daintree needs to significantly differentiate its events and event offerings to remain competitive into the future. In order to build our competitive advantage, all events, regardless of their genre (e.g. arts, culture, food, sport, business etc.) need to differentiate by building on our headline acts. These unique selling points should be integrated into existing and new event experiences.
THE WORLD’S OLDEST RAINFOREST We are home to the world’s oldest rainforest – the Daintree Rainforest, 80 million years older than the Amazon.
THE GREAT BARRIER REEF
ABORIGINAL CULTURE
The world’s largest living organism. The story of the reef is one of the most compelling of our time – of collective conservation and protection.
We are the land of the Jabalbina Yalanji – the Eastern Kuku Yalanji people and the Yirrigandji people, one of the oldest living cultures in the world dating back more than 40,000 years.
