After canapes and cocktails, everyone was beckoned into the air-conditioned auditorium for the formal awards ceremony which celebrated excellence, and paid homage to the extraordinary contributions that the tourism sector makes to The Whitsundays region.
Afterwards, the band kicked-off with some classic tunes and the dancefloor soon filled with revellers enjoying a vibrant atmosphere of camaraderie and passion for an evening to celebrated the hard work if a dedicated industry.

“The evening’s event is a tribute to the region’s reliance on tourism, with everyone gathered to applaud their own achievements, their competitors' feats, and, most importantly, the collective triumphs of the tourism industry."
