30,000+ Workers Every Year Until 2032:
Major venue builds and infrastructure mean thousands of interstate and international workers will need short-term accommodation across Greater Brisbane and the Gold Coast.

Gold Coast's Global Tourism Boom:
The Games will spotlight SEQ globally, driving visitor growth and cementing the Gold Coast as a premium Australian travel destination.

Favourable Short-Stay Environment Likely to Stay:
