choice will soon be yours with new Lake Proserpine caretakers, Red Cat Adventures, announcing glamping will be added to the ever-improving tourism locale.
Only new as custodians of Lake Proserpine, Red Cat Adventures Director, Julie Telford, said her business – a famed Whitsunday tourism operator - wasn’t resting on its laurels, and have already been in proactive planning for the future, which included the addition of this new tourism offering.
“We are excited to announce that we aim to be offering “Glamping” tents in time for the September school holidays,” Ms Telford said.
“Lake Proserpine will still be a relaxed outback environment, it will still be bush camping, but by adding the option of “Glamping” visitors can now choose the type of experience which suits them.”
“We will also use our extensive experience and knowledge of the tourism industry to raise the profile of Proserpine as a destination which will have a flow-on benefit to the town’s local businesses.”
Glamping, a portmanteau of glamorous and camping, describes camping with amenities not usually associated with traditional bush camping – think luxurious tent-living.
Ms Telford said they were confident on expanding the Lake Proserpine experience even further.
“[We want to] improve on the land and water activities,” she said.
“There are also plans to introduce low-impact water sports, so it is timely for Red Cats to expand and invest in new land-based projects in the region.”
Ms Telford said it was a “slice of paradise” and the new caretakers Ilze and Mark Huston, are passionate about their roles and enthusiastic about meeting and greeting visitors daily.
Acting Mayor John Collins said it was exciting to have the multi award-winning Red Cat Adventures onboard and helping to grow the Lake Proserpine experience.
“Regional tourism is booming and we look forward to the exciting initiatives that such a proactive local tourism stakeholder like Red Cat can bring to make Lake Proserpine a must visit for tourists,” Acting Mayor Collins said.
