Over 120 local tourism businesses across the region have been recognised in the 2025 Best of Queensland Experience Program (BOQEP) - a record-breaking achievement that highlights The Whitsundays’ reputation as one of Queensland’s most exceptional tourism destinations.
The recognised businesses represent the full diversity of the region’s offerings, including accommodation, attractions, food and drink, tours, and transport. This milestone reflects the strong commitment of Whitsundays operators to delivering world-class, visitor-first experiences.
The Best of Queensland Experience Program, an initiative led by Tourism and Events Queensland (TEQ) in partnership with Queensland’s Regional Tourism Organisations (RTOs), the Queensland Tourism Industry Council (QTIC), and the Department of Environment, Tourism, Science and Innovation (DETSI), independently assesses businesses based on customer reviews, digital presence, RTO membership, and formal accreditation.
Tourism Whitsundays CEO, Tim Booth, said “Tourism Whitsundays has seen a record level of businesses achieve Best of Queensland status in 2025 which is a huge credit to the tourism businesses in the Whitsundays and a key reason for the ongoing success of the region.”
“Well done to all of the operators that have achieved Best of Queensland this year.”
The BOQEP stamp is a mark of excellence, helping visitors easily identify high-quality, trusted tourism experiences when planning their travels in Queensland.
