Giant Chinese incentive for Adelaide
Adelaide is about to host its largest ever incentive event, welcoming 3,000 Chinese delegates to the city in June.
The Perfect China company will bring its top sales representatives to Adelaide in two groups from 17-20 and 24-17 June, the third time the organisation has chosen Australia for its event.
The company is well known in China for its herbal health products, kitchenware and personal care items.
The Adelaide Convention Bureau said the event would inject $11.2 million into the South Australian economy, coming on top of $210 million in incentive events secured by the bureau last financial year.

It can cater to more than 2,000 guests banquet style in the main exhibition hall as well as a further 520 guests in its purpose built theatre and 440 guests in a dining room. The venue also features a large atrium suitable for break-out events.
