The team at Tourism Whitsundays are elated this week, not only with the announcement of their new CEO, but also with Council increasing its annual funding from $750K to $1M this year.
The CEO position at Tourism Whitsundays has been efficiently overseen by interim CEO Aimee Cameron for the past few months following the surprise resignation of Rick Hamilton earlier this year.
The team is now excited to announce that highly experienced tourism leader, Tim Booth, has accepted the role and is due to start in November.
Tim will be moving to The Whitsundays from New South Wales in the coming weeks to lead the organisation's efforts in destination marketing, increasing visitation, enhancing visitor expenditure, and extending the length of stay in the region.
Tim joins Tourism Whitsundays with over 17 years of experience in tourism management and a remarkable track record of achievements.
He is the current CEO of Mudgee Region Tourism, which has won multiple State and National Tourism Awards during his tenure.
For the three years prior to being in Mudgee, Tim's efforts helped the Eurobodalla region emerge stronger following devastating bushfires.
Tim shared his excitement for the role and his commitment to the community.
“I am honoured to take on the role of CEO at Tourism Whitsundays and to work with such a passionate and dedicated team,” he said.
“My vision is to drive sustainable growth, enhance visitor engagement, and strengthen our relationships with partners and stakeholders.”
