More than 900 tourism industry representatives attended the gala on the Gold Coast, where Mackay and the Whitsundays claimed 13 honours between them.
From the volunteers who greet travellers at Bowen’s Big Mango to the Airlie Beach operators who get visitors out on the water, Whitsunday tourism teams had plenty to celebrate. The gala put the region in the spotlight, toe to toe with some of Queensland’s best, recognising the work locals put into making a Whitsundays holiday one worth coming back for.
