Promoting our region to a national and international market is something that Tourism Whitsundays do successfully every day, but here on the ground they are equally as busy.
Last week, CEO of Tourism Whitsundays Rick Hamilton, made a trip to Bowen and while he was there, took the time to hang out and meet with other tourism operators.
“Having the opportunity to combine meetings with experiencing our region is one of the best parts of my role at Tourism Whitsundays,” he explained.
“As CEO, I work closely with my team, members, and community to market The Whitsundays and support the development of the tourism industry to ensure the longevity of tourism in The Whitsundays.”
While attending a meeting between advocates for the Bowen Marina and Council, Rick was able to gain further insights into the challenges facing the marina precinct and has promised Tourism Whitsundays will assist with the solution where they can.
“This is a long road, and a vision shared by all stakeholders, businesses, council, and Tourism Whitsundays, will ensure we’re all working toward the same outcome,” he said.
After the meeting, Rick took the opportunity to head down to the marina and pick up some fresh fish for dinner.
“On the hunt for some locally grown produce to accompany my fish, I headed out to Stackelroth Farms, where both Michelle and Belinda were at the farm shop,” he said.
“Michelle showed me the beehive in the wall of the farm shop and explained how their farm works in with others in the region.
“The day showed me how much progress we can achieve as a region when we all work together for the benefit of the whole region.”
