"By nominating to enter the South Australian Tourism Awards, entrants begin a journey which gives their business structure, new opportunities for growth and recognition,” Mr Tilbrook says. “A win or medal certainly does enhance the appeal and reputation of a tourism business and can be seen as a valuable marketing advantage.”

Tourism Minister Gail Gago says these awards are the tourism industry’s premier accolade.

“It is a whole of business award, not just a customer service award, designed so entrants can tell the whole story about their business,” Ms Gago says.“I encourage all tourism operators to consider entering the 2012 South Australian Tourism Awards to showcase their success and put South Australia’s best foot forward at the Qantas Australian Tourism Awards early next year.”

Entry is open to all South Australian tourism operators. In total, there are 28 categories this year including accommodation, tour and transport operators, wineries, restaurants, events, local government, attractions and more.
