Timezone Gold Coast wins Business Excellence Award

Surfers Paradise-based family entertainment centre Timezone Gold Coast has received the June 2016 Tourism, Hospitality and Events award at the Gold Coast Business Awards monthly presentation.

Already recognised as the largest indoor family entertainment centre in Australia and the biggest Timezone™ in the world, the prestigious monthly awards are another well deserved credit to the enterprising Gold Coast business.

Timezone™ Gold Coast collected the award after being rigorously assessed on operational efficiency, business history, management practices, innovation, environmental practices, citizenship (supporting the local community), significant achievements and onward future business planning.

Accepting the June 2016 Award, Owner-Director of the Timezone™ Surfers Paradise partnership, Juan Uribe acknowledged all who helped the business achieve the prestigious honour.

Uribe stated “I would like to pay tribute to our Timezone™ Gold Coast team whose efforts are benchmarked by these monthly awards, and thank all of our customers who are the reason behind these accolades, our success and the family fun centre revolution.”

The Timezone™ Surfers Paradise location houses a variety of activities under one indoor roof including Laser Skirmish, bumper cars, miniature golf, a vintage shooting gallery, basketball games and a bowling alley among other innovative attractions. The family entertainment centre also host birthday parties and also provides a new venue for corporate functions and events for businesses.

With Uribe at the helm, the Surfers Paradise family entertainment centre has expanded its size from 3400 metre² to 5000 metre² in recent years.

In February this year, an all-new new 3000 metre² Timezone opened for business on the southern Gold Coast at Coolangatta.

Stating that this second centre is true testament to the commitment that Timezone has to the Gold Coast, Uribe added “we changed the concept to focus on families by bringing in attractions and activities rather than video games.

“Now 80% of our visitors are families.”

In 2014, Timezone™ Gold Coast was named top Family Entertainment Centre in the World by the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions (IAAPA).
