Riviera’s Festival of Fun and Learning awarded for excellence
The 500-strong Riviera team is incredibly proud after the 2016 Riviera Festival of Boating was awarded Queensland’s Best Corporate Event at the Australian Event Awards.
This recognition drives us to ensure the 2017 Festival at the home of Riviera on Australia’s Gold Coast is even more rewarding and educational … and even more fun for our valued Family of owners.
“For the Australian motor yacht enthusiast, the Riviera Festival of Boating – entering its 6th year next year – is a truly unique event that continues to grow every year,” said Riviera brand and communications director Stephen Milne.
“Across four fantastic days, our very talented team and experienced facilitators this year hosted over 110 educational workshops on land and on water, a number of special social events, fully narrated factory tours via the Riviera Express train ride and a spectacular red-carpet showcase of world-class luxury motor yachts on the undercover Riviera Marina.
“Over the past five years we have welcomed thousands of Riviera owners to Coomera for a four-day celebration of Riviera and the best of the boating life.
“It is extremely gratifying that the Festival has been recognised as something genuinely special not just by our global Riviera Family of owners … but now by the Australian events industry as well.
