Queensland ready to shine at national awards

More than 700 of Australia’s best tourism operators and their guests are descending on the Sunshine Coast this week, preparing to attend the Australian Tourism Awards tomorrow night.

The awards recognise and promote excellence in tourism and submissions are considered by a panel of 24 judges – three from each state and territory - comprising a cross section of tourism industry experts, selected for their knowledge and experience. Good luck to the 21 Queensland finalists (listed below) who have already won gold at the Queensland Tourism Awards and will now compete on the national stage to take out the top gong.
