Ali is our Team Leader at Whitsunday Vacations and has been on the team since February 2021.
Originally from Western Australia, Ali relocated to Noosa in the Sunshine State (Qld) in 2004 where she worked as a nurse.
In 2013, what was an intended 'holiday' to Airlie Beach turned out to be her new forever, Ali was introduced to the travel and tourism industry as soon as she arrived and was offered various positions - which were all very different to her background in nursing but complemented her love for the ocean and customer service.
Starting out as a hostess on overnight sailing trips, lead to management of Travel agencies, Events and Wedding Coordination and Resort Management positions, all which gave her the skills and PR that guarantee she provides our guests with a personal and memorable experience in the Whitsundays.
When she isn't at work Ali loves entertaining, dinner parties, going to the beach, cooking, camping, travelling and a wine or two on the weekends.
Ali has a passion and wealth of knowledge for all things travel, tours and events so once you have booked your accommodation with us be sure to ask her for advice on the best things to do whilst you are here!

Growing up in Cornwall, tourism, hospitality and the ocean was embedded into Hannah's way of life early on.
Whilst attending university, she worked with some Aussie’s who convinced her to travel to the other side of the world with just a backpack and a one-way ticket. After arriving in Australia in 2014 she fell in love with Airlie Beach, and decided to set down roots here in 2016.
Since arriving in the area, Hannah has been actively involved in the local tourism and hospitality industry, managing holiday accommodation, bars, and travel shops in the town. Through her work, she secured sponsorship and finally became an Australian Citizen in January 2022.
Since having her son in 2021, Hannah has found an even deeper appreciation for the beauty of the Whitsundays and all it has to offer, and is passionate about sharing our slice of paradise with other families and adventure seekers alike.
