Planning a holiday to the Sunshine Coast has never been easier with a brand-new website delivering inspiration to ‘book now’ at lightning speed.

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.
