The Bowen tourism community are celebrating this week with news that one of their own was awarded Gold at the Grey Nomad Awards held over the weekend.
Queens Beach Tourist Village once again received the top gong in the Best Large Caravan Park Category.
This is the third consecutive year the park has received the award which means it has now been inducted into the Hall of Fame for these awards.
Manager of Bowen Tourism and Business, Leanne Abernethy said it was fantastic news that the Queen’s Beach Tourist Village had won Gold in their category again in the Grey Nomads Awards.
“Peter and Jennie and the Team at Queen’s Beach run a fantastic park. They are also great ambassadors for Bowen and the greater Whitsundays region,” Ms Abernethy said.
In addition to this, two other local hot spots were finalists in the awards.
“We were also very pleased that the Big Mango was named a finalist in the Best Attraction category and that Bowen was also a national finalist in the category for the Best Grey Nomad Friendly Town,” she added.
“This was the first time we had nominated for these awards so to be named finalists in both categories was very pleasing.”
The Grey Nomad Awards shines a light on the best places for older travellers to stay and play around the country.
The Awards are judged by tourism leaders from across the country who offer valuable insights and detailed feedback to each entrant, ensuring nominees have practical tips to improve their tourism offering for the future benefit of their business, their community and visitors.
