Everybody wants to visit Uluru/Ayers Rock, international visitors and Australians alike. Its awe-inspiring natural beauty and deep spiritual significance have made it an icon of Australia.
As a destination for your business event, Uluru carries a special promise. And its central location makes it perfect for bringing together delegates dispersed around the country.
World importance
Uluru–Kata Tjuta National Park is a World Heritage Area, one of only a few worldwide listed by the United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) for outstanding natural as well as cultural value. Its listing may be relatively recent but the park is managed in ways that date back tens of thousands of years.
Uluru and its surrounds show rich evidence of the interaction between humankind and the natural world over many thousands of years. It’s a place of powerful spiritual, artistic and cultural associations, and a treasure trove of geological and biological evolution.
Unique expertise
The region boasts specialist knowledge in rural and remote health, arid zones and desert landscapes, indigenous matters, biosphere protection and management, indigenous arts, and community and government services.
If your organisation has any connection with these sectors, holding your event at Uluru is an obvious choice. But for any business event, the region’s specialist expertise can be a source of inspiration and fascination.
