The additional hotels include Mantra Group’s hero conferencing properties, Peppers Salt Resort & Spa and Mantra on Salt Beach in Kingscliff; Mantra Legends on the Gold Coast; Mantra Lorne in Victoria; Mantra on Russell MelbournePeppers Craigieburn and Peppers Manor House in the NSW Southern Highlands; Peppers Beach Club & Spa Palm Cove and BreakFree Grand Pacific Caloundra.

Mantra group director of MICE, Paul Wilson, said he was pleased to see the uptake of the program and expects more hotels to come on board over the next six months.

Mantra’s eco-friendly conference package also delivers 100 per cent paper-free event organisation, locally sourced produce and Ethical Tea Partnership products, recyclable stationery, a recycle bin for conference use, fresh fruit bowl during breaks, re-usable natural bamboo tote bag and complimentary packet of seed sticks for each delegate, and a personalised company Carbon Neutral Planting Certificate.  Delegate packages vary and start from $60 per person.
