Throughout April, Melbourne, Australia will welcome more than 16,000 incentive delegates from Amway China’s Leadership Seminar.

Amway China is a subsidiary of the multinational direct-selling company, Amway, an American multi-level marketing (MLM) company that sells health, beauty, and home care products.

Delegates will arrive in waves of between 2,000 and 3,000 people per group for five days of business seminars, touring experiences and a gala dinner at the Melbourne Showgrounds. It is estimated that the event will generate AU$100 million in economic impact. 

The delegates are staying at eight hotels across the city, generating approximately 32,000 hotel room nights. Amway China attendees will also dine at 50 restaurants across Melbourne and Victoria. 

"Melbourne is thrilled to welcome Amway China, the largest incentive program ever in the country. Our city is home to so many unique and exciting experiences which delegates will get a chance to enjoy during their stay,” Melbourne Convention Bureau chief executive Julia Swanson. 

A variety of tours will allow delegates to experience the best of the city and the regions, with trips to twenty popular attractions including Sovereign Hill, Healesville Sanctuary, Werribee Zoo, Phillip Island Nature Park, Twelve Apostles, Rochford Winery, Puffing Billy, Melbourne Skydeck, and the National Gallery of Victoria showcasing the many diverse experiences on the city’s doorstep.  

“On the special occasion of Amway China's 30th anniversary, we are excited to meet in Melbourne for our Leadership Seminar. Our delegates look forward to gathering to share knowledge and discover all that this incredible city has to offer,” said Amway China director of special events, Carl Wen.
