Meet Zoe Lunardelli

Tourism Whitsundays' New Partnerships Coordinator

Tourism Whitsundays has welcomed a new Partnerships Coordinator, Zoe Lunardelli,  who brings a deep appreciation for the region and a strong focus on community connections.

Having first visited The Whitsundays on holiday in 2019, Zoe said she “instantly fell in love” with the region. After multiple return visits, the natural beauty and welcoming community made it an easy decision to call this place home.

In her new role, Zoe will focus on building relationships that support the area’s visibility and tourism growth.

"I’m most excited about connecting with the local community and contributing to the ongoing success of our destination marketing," she said.

"It’s a privilege to promote such an iconic and naturally stunning part of the world."

While many visitors are drawn to the world-famous islands, she encourages both tourists and locals to explore further.

"Don’t just stick to the islands—explore the mainland too! From Mackay to Bowen, there are countless hidden gems, charming towns, and natural wonders that deserve just as much attention."

With an excitement to start Zoe's appointment signals Tourism Whitsundays’ ongoing commitment to fostering strong partnerships and sharing the full story of the Whitsundays—beyond the beaches.
