Bowen Tourism and Business volunteers have been recognised at State level, achieving a Bronze Award at the Queensland Tourism Awards in Brisbane.
Manager of Bowen Tourism and Business, Leanne Abernethy said this was a fantastic achievement.
“We have 20 active volunteers who welcome every visitor with a smile, provide exceptional customer service and are passionate about Bowen and the entire Whitsundays region," said Leanne.
“They have varied backgrounds and interests and therefore a variety of skills which complement each other.
“To be recognised at State level is a huge achievement and we are very proud of every one of them.”
The volunteers play an integral role in the organisation.
“Our mission is to drive tourism, promote destination awareness and provide excellence in visitor experience and membership support,” Leanne said.
“We simply couldn’t achieve any of that without the work of our wonderful volunteers.”
Mark and Anne Steen have been volunteering at the “Little Mango” at Bowen’s Front Beach since 2020.
Anne said it was wonderful that the volunteers had been recognised at such a high level.
“We hope this award will encourage even more people to come and see what we do,” she said.
“We love meeting the visitors and promoting all that there is to see and do.
“We think Bowen is the best place to live in Queensland and we are able to share that love with people who come here on holidays.”
