The Volunteer Cruise Ship Ambassadors received notable recognition at the Whitsundays Tourism Awards over the weekend, winning Gold for Outstanding Contribution by a Volunteer Group.
Volunteer Cruise Ship Coordinator Lyn Blanche Woodham attended the awards and really enjoyed the evening:
“It was an extraordinary evening,” she said.
“We were thrilled to win the Gold Award. It means so much to all the volunteers to be recognised.”
The Cruise Ship Ambassadors’ aim is to greet every cruise ship that comes to Airlie Beach and engage with as many visitors as possible:
“We want to ensure that every passenger has the best experience in their short time here,” Lyn shared.
Alongside winning the prestigious award it is also their 20th anniversary year:
“This was a very special present.
“We also greeted our millionth cruise ship visitor earlier this year!”
Lyn Blanche Woodham said the Cruise Ambassadors would like to thank the Whitsundays Regional Council for their ongoing support, and Tourism Whitsundays for all their practical help on a day-to-day basis, including Dea who goes above and beyond for the group.
Dea Huvonen, Visitor Services Manager at Tourism Whitsundays stated that people looking to enter the awards, should definitely do so:
“It is a beautiful and great way to showcase the fantastic work your team is doing the whole year long!”
On Thursday, November 7, 2024, the Volunteers Cruise Ship Ambassadors will celebrate their 20th anniversary at Shute Harbour Marine Terminal. All current and past stakeholders and volunteers are invited to join the festivities.
