Gold Coast locals and visitors will now find it even easier to explore and enjoy the city with the launch of a new app.

Experience Gold Coast has designed the new platform to offer tips, exclusive deals and hidden gems.

And it’s all for free!

The app will even have a personal guide – an AI-powered chatbot named ‘Goldie’.

“This app is about making it easier than ever for people to fall in love with the Gold Coast – whether you’re visiting for a weekend or you’ve lived here your whole life,” Mayor Tom Tate said.

“It’s designed to connect people with everything that makes our city special – the events, the experiences, the stories – all personalised to their interests and right at their fingertips.”

The app features a comprehensive list of what’s on across the city and will offer suggestions based on a person’s location.

“The EGC app is the ultimate guide to the Gold Coast in your pocket, with Goldie the trusted lorikeet and in-app chat assistant, your personal tour guide ready to answer all your questions.
