Bowen and the greater Whitsunday region was well represented at the Townsville Caravan, 4x4 and Outdoor Adventure Expo on the weekend.

Two team members from Bowen Tourism and Business, Glenn Womal and Cindy Tonks, attended the show, along with two volunteers, Kim and Ray Tannock.

‍

Manager of Bowen Tourism and Business, Leanne Abernethy said caravan and camping shows provided a great opportunity to speak to people about what our region has to offer.

‍

“Whenever we attend these expos, we talk to thousands of people, and they get to ask specific questions and hear real stories from local people.

‍

“The face-to-face contact with these potential visitors is invaluable in promoting our region to potential travellers,” she said.

‍

Bowen’s Visitor Services Co-ordinator, Glenn Womal said many people at the expo had already been to Bowen and were planning to visit again.

‍

“Many people said how much they loved our town.

‍

“Others said they were considering coming to Bowen and after speaking to the team, their mind had been made up.

‍

“It was also a great opportunity to connect with other information centres, all proudly showcasing the many fantastic destinations across Queensland.”

Bowen Tourism and Business is a not-for-profit organisation promoting Bowen and the greater Whitsunday region and operating the Bowen Visitor Information Centre next to the Big Mango.
