One of our local Visitor Information Centres (VIC) has won the prestigious title of being the best in the state in the Regional Tourism Organisation category at last week’s 2022 Queensland Information Centres Association (QICA) Awards in Noosa.
Located at Whitsunday Gold Coffee in Proserpine, the Whitsunday VIC is the gateway to Airlie Beach and the Whitsunday Islands, providing information and assistance to road trippers who are about to explore our region.
Whitsundays Visitor Information Centre Manager, Dea Huvonen said the award was fantastic and an excellent boost to the staff and volunteers coming out of one of the busiest periods at the VIC.
‘I couldn’t run the VIC without the incredible volunteers who have worked 325 hours this year and are just as dedicated and passionate as when they first came in,” she said.
“This award is a credit to everyone involved with the Whitsundays Visitor Information Centre.”
Tourism Whitsundays CEO, Rick Hamilton said the award is a materialisation of the passion and dedication the team at the Whitsundays Visitor Information Centre give to delivering an exemplary experience to every traveller stopping in or staying in The Whitsundays.
“We’re focussed on promoting The Whitsundays as the best holiday destination in Australia and this goal drives every facet of the business, from our digital marketing through to the experience delivered at the Whitsundays Visitor Information Centre,” he said.
The Whitsunday VIC was funded by the Whitsunday Regional Council and is easily accessible to travellers heading north or south on the Bruce Highway.
