Hot on the heels of winning Best Video by a Hospitality Brand at the first annual Citizine Travel Video Awards, AVANI Hotels & Resorts continues to inspire travellers to see themselves in cities around the world with the latest instalment in the #AVANIme campaign. The third #AVANIme video (www.youtube.com/watch?v=7hqGWsE_IjA&feature=youtu.be) follows Laura Dundovic, Miss Universe Australia 2008, to some hidden delights of Australia’s Gold Coast.

With this Gold Coast episode (www.avanihotels.com/me), Laura ventures to enticing spots just a stone’s throw from AVANI Broadbeach Gold Coast Residences (www.avanihotels.com/broadbeach). Viewers can discover why locals favour the natural serenity of Tallebudgera Creek and the panoramic surf views at Mick Shamburg Park before Laura takes them to check out the scene on Oracle Boulevard, ending with some refreshing brews at the Gold Coast’s first craft beer-maker, Burleigh Brewing Company.

The #AVANIme video campaign was launched in 2016 to excite viewer imagination about AVANI destinations by showcasing local charms through the eyes of a local celebrity. The premier episode features supermodel, actress, and current host of Asia’s Next Top Model, Cindy Bishop, sharing the wonders of her hometown, Bangkok, Thailand (www.youtube.com/watch?v=aWvJgnDmf_g), while the second, award-winning instalment transports savvy travellers to Lisbon with renowned singer Cuca Roseta (www.youtube.com/watch?v=cOn_UcTZC6M).

“Close to a million views and an acclaimed award speaks to the success of the #AVANIme campaign, and we are thrilled,” said Alejandro Bernabé, Vice President of Operations - AVANI Hotels & Resorts. “This time, Laura invites travellers to explore the Gold Coast with her through the digital realm, then inspired, they will decide to come and see these enchantments in person.”

Filming for the next #AVANIme instalments are currently happening in exciting destinations around the world, stay tuned by subscribing to https://www.youtube.com/avanihotels?sub_confirmation=1.
