Eight local tourism operators have been recognised at the 2015 Queensland Tourism Awards, with the Whitsunday Region receiving one gold, four silver and three bronze awards.
Mayor Jennifer Whitney offered her congratulations to the eight local tourism operators.
“We have outstanding tourism products in the Whitsunday Region, and it is fantastic to see that our local tourism industry is getting the recognition it deserves,” Mayor Whitney said.
“To bring home eight awards is a truly amazing feat, especially considering that the Gold Coast won nine awards and we out-performed other major tourism destinations such as the Fraser Coast, Southern Great Barrier Reef and Outback Queensland,” she said.
The 2015 Queensland Tourism Awards were held at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre on Friday 13 November. A full list of winners is available from www.queenslandtourismawards.com.au
