Father-daughter duo Tess and Darren Lucas are celebrating a major milestone. At the Asia Pacific Incentives Meetings Event (AIME), we sat down with them to discuss their innovative new business venture: Luxcoach, Australia’s first luxury bus hire service.

Luxcoach aims to transform road travel with its unique offerings. The bus features a fully stocked bar, plush all-leather lounge-style seating, a 50-inch LCD TV, and a modern Bluetooth system. Additionally, onboard cocktails and butler service are part of the experience. Catering is available, and there’s a powder room and toilet facilities at the back of the bus.

During the Asia Pacific Incentives and Meetings Event (AIME), the International Congress and Convention Association (ICCA) and the Australian Business Events Association (ABEA) signed a crucial agreement to strengthen their alliance. This partnership aims to tackle three key challenges in the Australian business events sector through a shared commitment.
