The Proserpine Entertainment Centre (PEC) has been announced as the venue for the 2023 Whitsunday Tourism Awards which is due to take place on Friday, October 20.
Based on feedback from last year, the highly anticipated 2023 event will take a different format and will be delivered cocktail-style, with a well-airconditioned venue for the award presentations.
Tourism Whitsundays CEO, Rick Hamilton, expressed his excitement for the new location.
"We are thrilled to be bringing the Whitsundays Tourism Awards to the Proserpine Entertainment Centre!” he said.
“We’re looking forward to a different style of event this year with two distinct elements to the evening – live music, canapes, and drinks on the lawn followed by the awards ceremony in the auditorium.”
Following an $18.8 million rebuild, the PEC provides The Whitsundays with a state-of-the-art facility that can seat up to 380 people in the auditorium and has international standard lighting, sound equipment, and professional backstage areas.
The event promises to be a night of celebration and recognition as business owners, management, and staff gather to honour the remarkable contributions and successes within The Whitsundays tourism industry.
In addition to the presentation of accolades, the evening will feature captivating entertainment, delectable food, and great networking opportunities.
For the first time this year, Tourism Whitsundays is excited to announce Bishopp outdoor advertising as the new event sponsor.
They would also like to extend heartfelt gratitude to other sponsors Reef Gateway Hotel, Mackay and Whitsunday Life Newspaper, TeePee Events, Whitsunday Transit, Bendigo Bank, Whitsunday Coast Chamber of Commerce, ARN and BookEasy, whose generous support has made this significant event possible.
Tickets are on sale now: tourismwhitsundays.com.au.
