The consumer facing visitsunshinecoast.com has been redeveloped for faster performance by the region’s tourism organisation Visit Sunshine Coast (VSC), with options to ‘book now’ at the forefront of each operator listing.

The new visitsunshinecoast.com consistently outperforms other websites of its kind on page speed and search engine optimisation, ensuring the website is easy to use on smart phone devices and the Sunshine Coast is prioritised in Google search results.

The website launch coincides with a mega marketing blitz for the region being rolled out by VSC across Australia and New Zealand, encouraging holidaymakers to escape the cold and immerse themselves on the Sunshine Coast this winter.

“The new visitsunshinecoast.com also seamlessly connects visitors with our local operators, giving options to click through and book local tours, attractions and accommodation.”

On average visitsunshinecoast.com attracts 350,000 page views a month and 65,000 monthly active users, making it one of VSC’s most important digital assets.

“The campaign will drive visitors to a special landing page on our new website, where they will have access to trip ideas, itineraries and Sunshine Coast deals to help them plan, and book, their ultimate escape.”
