BIG4 Adventure Whitsunday Resort Wins Gold At The 2025 Whitsunday Tourism Awards

It was another golden night for BIG4 Adventure Whitsunday Resort, taking out Gold in the Caravan and Holiday Parks category at the 2025 Whitsunday Tourism Awards on Saturday evening.

The gala event, held at the Proserpine Entertainment Centre, brought together tourism operators and businesses from across the region to celebrate excellence and innovation within the Whitsundays’ vibrant visitor economy.

For BIG4 Adventure Whitsunday Resort, this latest Gold adds to an incredible track record of success. Following Gold wins at the Whitsunday, Queensland, and Australian Tourism Awards last year - and induction into the Hall of Fame at all three levels - the resort continues to shine as one of Australia’s most awarded and loved holiday destinations.

CEO Phil Casey, who attended the event with ten team members representing departments across the business, said the award was a proud moment for everyone at the resort.

“Winning Gold again this year is such an honour and a wonderful recognition of our team’s passion, hard work and commitment to delivering outstanding holiday experiences,” said Phil.

“It was especially rewarding to share the night with a group of our amazing team members from across the resort. Every single person plays a part in creating the friendly, family atmosphere that makes BIG4 Adventure Whitsunday Resort so special.”

Phil said the recognition reinforced the resort’s dedication to maintaining high standards while continuing to evolve and invest in the future.

“We’ve enjoyed an incredible few years of success at every level of the tourism awards process, and we’ve been proud to represent the Whitsundays on the state and national stage,” he said.

“Our focus is always on enhancing our guest experience, and we’re really excited about the future with some new developments on the horizon that will bring even more reasons for families to visit and love the Whitsundays.”

Located on 10 hectares of lush tropical gardens in Airlie Beach, BIG4 Adventure Whitsunday Resort is known for its extensive facilities and signature family-friendly atmosphere. The resort offers a wide range of accommodation options - from camping and caravan sites to luxury condos and accessible cabins - alongside more than 15 onsite activities including the popular waterslide park, lagoon-style pool, mini golf, and animal park.

Phil said the evening highlighted the strength and diversity of tourism offerings across the Whitsundays and the potential for continued growth in the years ahead.

“The calibre of products and experiences demonstrates just how strong the Whitsundays tourism industry is. With continued investment, innovation and collaboration, the future for our region looks incredibly positive,” he said.
