Queensland Weekender visited the Whitsundays last week to film segments showcasing the region and promoting our destination.
Organised by Tourism Whitsundays in conjunction with Bowen Tourism and Business, our local ambassadors hosted the film crew, giving them a diverse range of experiences.
From watching fresh seafood arrive on a trawler in Bowen, to filming a group of young children learning about bees at Stackelroth Farm, to a coal face experience in Collinsville and a trip out to the Whitsunday Islands – every element of our unique tourist offering was explored.
Many local tour operators were involved in showcasing the region and sales and marketing manager from Bowen Tourism, Leanne Abernethy, said she enjoyed hosting presenter Chris Parsons for a walk to the lookout point in Bowen.
“It was wonderful to host Weekender and we are looking forward to seeing the segment that features Bowen and Collinsville,” she said.
“Our secluded beaches, fringing reefs, farming and Collinsville are our main attractions and we are looking forward to them being showcased to Weekender viewers.”
Tourism Whitsunday Chief Operating Officer, Rick Hamilton, said that he was pleased to welcome the production crew from Weekender back to the region to showcase our unique backyard and engage with local operators and products to highlight our world-class destination.
“The Whitsundays is one of the most appealing destinations for domestic holidaymakers who are wanting that international flavour and this programme only enhances that,” he said.
