the 28th Canberra and Capital Region Tourism Awards.
It has been a big year for the Gallery which is home to Australia’s national art collection. In the past year the Gallery has hosted two major exhibitions – Toulouse-Lautrec: Paris & The Moulin Rouge and Turner from the Tate: The Making of a Master that have drawn strong interstate visitation to the ACT.
The Outstanding Contribution by an Individual award went jointly to Diane Hinds and Morna Whiting, the Directors behind Australian Tourism Awards Hall of Fame award winning attraction the Old Bus Depot Markets.
VisitCanberra Director Ian Hill congratulated last night’s winners in what has been a strong year for tourism in Canberra’s Centenary year.
‘The awards celebrate the diverse Canberra region tourism experiences and I commend this year’s entrants,’ Mr Hill said.
