Nine NSW businesses were recognised at the Qantas Australian Tourism Awards held in Canberra last Friday. Among them, Blue Ginger Picnics from Kingscliff on the NSW North Coast took out the top gong in its category, Specialised Tourism Services.
President of the NSW Tourism Industry Council Simon Spellicy said: “This is great recognition for those businesses and they should be incredibly proud of their achievements.
“We know that NSW leads the way when it comes to tourist offerings, and to have this confirmed at the National Tourism Awards is a reflection of the work done by the thousands of tourism operators across the state.
“What’s also great to see is the geographical spread of the winning businesses, with each area of NSW facing their own unique challenges in the past 12 months.
“We know that as an industry, tourism is often the first hit by natural disasters, and the droughts and bushfires that have ravaged the state have made it particularly difficult to be in business – that’s why diversification of tourism offerings is so vital.”
The NSW Government through Destination NSW each year supports the NSW Tourism Awards that were held in November 2019. Winners in 27 categories progressed to the Australian Tourism Awards.
