Its surfing culture, theme parks, nightlife, and rainforest hinterland have generated significant tourism industry for Queensland. The Gold Coast will also host the Commonwealth Games in 2018.
About Gold Coast Airport:
The Gold Coast Airport is a domestic and international airport located at the southern end of the Gold Coast. The airport is some 25 km south of Surfers Paradise and around 100 km south of Brisbane. The runway itself straddles the state border of Queensland and New South Wales. During summer these states are in two different time zones, which can make flight arrival and departure times confusing. In 2011, The Gold Coast Airport was named the sixth busiest airport in Australia. It is also the third fastest growing airport in the country.
