Record number of votes will decide our region's best tourism operators

More than 17,000 visitors and locals have voted for their favourite tourism operator ahead of the North Queensland Tourism and Events Award Ceremony and Gala Event on October 14.

Townsville Enterprise Director – Visitor Economy & Marketing, Lisa Woolfe said it was encouraging to see a record number of votes for our region’s best tourism operators.

“No one is more capable to judge our tourism products, events, and experiences than our visitors and locals who know them so well,” Mrs Woolfe said.

“We have received 10,000 more votes this year than last year, a record for number and a fantastic sign of support from our locals and visitors.”  

“More than 30 Townsville North Queensland tourism operators have been nominated across six categories and these votes weighted alongside other key metrics will determine who will walk away with the top prize.”

“The tourism industry supports thousands of local jobs and is part of the fabric of our community. A strong tourism offering and an appealing destination for visitors supports population growth, community satisfaction, and skills attraction.”

Townsville Enterprise encourages Townsville’s business community to support its tourism sector and attend the industry’s night of nights.
