The Whitsundays Tourism Awards have been running since 2002 and have evolved over the years becoming a highly sought-after award, some winners from 2002 are still winning gold today.
This year the Whitsundays Tourism Awards are on Daydream Island, and Tourism Whitsunday Interim Chief Executive Officer Aimee Cameron said it's amazing to see the island reach new heights and showcase the region’s beauty.
“Hosting our awards here highlights the exceptional Daydream Island and allows us to honour the island's history and connection to The Whitsundays,” she said.
“Celebrating our industry’s achievements in such an iconic and beloved location is truly a privilege.”
At this year's Whitsundays Tourism Awards, the event has shifted from the traditional gala dinner format to a formal networking, awards party-style event that celebrates everything about The Whitsundays.
There will be live entertainment and networking which will lead into the business awards program, presented in partnership with the Whitsunday Coast Chamber of Commerce and Industry and Bowen Tourism and Business.
Following the awards will be an evening of cocktails, food and dancing featuring DJ Brian from Whitsunday AV.
Plus a few surprises are in store.
Aimee is thrilled to announce that this year's Awards are sold out and believe it is a testament to the tourism industry.
“It highlights the strong belief that our operators, stakeholders, councils, and the community have in what Tourism Whitsundays is delivering for the region,” said Aimee.
“The energy around this event is a clear indication of the excitement and pride in our collective achievements, and we’re so proud to be part of such a passionate and united industry.”
