Mackay Regional Council and Mackay Isaac Tourism have hit the launch button on an “ultimate calendar” for events in the Mackay region.
Launched today (Thursday, March 6) at the Mackay Event Connect Networking evening, the new platform, Mackay Events, was met with considerable excitement by local businesses owners, event planners and industry representatives.
Mackay Events is a user-friendly platform for managing, promoting and showcasing events in the Mackay region.
Mayor Greg Williamson explained that mackayevents.com.au automatically compiled local events from other popular ticketing and events platforms.
“Oztix, Try Booking, Eventbrite, Humanitix, the MECC, Australian Tourism Data Warehouse and many others are automatically picked up and added to this ultimate calendar,” Mayor Williamson said.
“Accommodation, hospitality and tourism business owners have for a long time called for a one-stop-shop where they can direct visitors who are asking ‘what’s on’ while they are in the region,” he said.
“Mackay Events is that one-stop-shop.
“It automatically captures all the local ticketing platforms and is also very easy to add events to directly.”
Mackay Isaac Tourism CEO Jeff Stewart-Harris said this ultimate calendar launch comes off the back of Mackay Isaac Tourism’s new destination events campaign, "Keep Up”.
“The Keep Up campaign encourages visitors to explore the endless adventure and vibrant events that make our regions so attractive.
“With this new calendar, visitors and locals will never miss an event again,” Mr Stewart-Harris said.
“Mackay Events has an excellent feature which allows users to create a profile that can be personalised so that they will be notified about events that they are interested in,” he said.
“This will be a fantastic opportunity to showcase all the amazing events that make our region such a vibrant, exciting place to visit, all in the one location.”
Mackay Events can be easily accessed via the Mackay Isaac Tourism and Mackay Regional Council websites or by going directly to the web address (mackayevents.com.au).
