Whitsunday Tourism Big Award Winner – Australia, Whitsunday Vacation. The Whitsunday tourism industry was well represented at the Australian Tourism Awards. The Whitsunday tourism industry was well represented at the Australian Tourism Awards last night in Launceston, with our Whitsundays operators all taking home awards in their respective categories.

The Whitsundays was lucky enough to have three operators in the running for the top spots across four different categories; Whitsundays Escape for Unique Accommodation, Big4 Adventure Whitsunday Resort for Caravan and Holiday Park and Red Cat for Major Tour and Transport Operators, and Adventure Tourism.

Tourism Whitsundays CEO Tash Wheeler said “For the Whitsundays to have three national finalists up for four awards is a testament to the high standard of experiences on offer in the Whitsundays and once again demonstrates how our small region continues to punch well above our weight. It’s an honor for the Whitsunday tourism industry to have these businesses representing us at the Australia Tourism Awards”.

The Australian Tourism Awards is the tourism industry’s peak awards recognising and promoting excellence in the Australian tourism industry. First established by the Federal Government in 1985, the Australian Tourism Awards are now owned and managed by Australian Tourism Awards Inc, on behalf of the tourism industry. A wide and diverse range of tourism businesses enters their state and territory Tourism Awards, from those awards over 200 state and territory finalist reach the prestigious status of becoming a national finalist.

In a major coup for the Whitsunday Tourism Industry, all three Whitsundays finalist will be coming home with awards. Red Cat Adventures won Gold for Major Tour and Transport Operators, Big4 Adventure Whitsunday Resort have taken Gold for Caravan and Holiday Parks and Whitsunday Escape taking out Silver for Unique Accommodation.

Mayor Andrew Willcox said he was elated that Whitsunday operators were being recognised for their quality tourism products. “I am always a proud Mayor when representing the Whitsundays as our tourism stakeholders always excel on the national stage”. “These awards are recognition for the amazing resilience and enthusiasm of our tourism operators and also the industry leader by Tourism Whitsunday CEO Tash Wheeler and board chair Al Grundy,” he said.

“We are the custodians for a wonderful and unique part of the world, so I am always keen to shout long and loud that the Whitsunday Region is the best tourist destination in the world.”

Congratulations to Big4 Whitsunday Adventure Resort, Red Cat Adventures and Whitsunday Escape for their achievements and proudly representing the Whitsunday region.

Whitsunday living on Hillcrest by the Beach
What an amazing property! Stayed with a group of friends and family and we all had our own space to chill , also fantastic areas to all hang out together. Kitchen is huge and has the extra bonus of a butler’s pantry. The outdoor entertainment area is where we spent a lot of our time soaking up the spectacular views and floating in the pool. Walking distance to the beach and cafes makes this property a must stay !

Whitsunday living on Hillcrest by the Beach
We just returned from an amazing vacation in the Whitsundays, staying at a beautiful property on Hillcrest Ave. From the very beginning, Ali and the staff went above and beyond to make the booking process seamless and stress-free.The house itself was perfect—immaculately clean, well-equipped, and had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. It was the ideal spot to spend quality time with our family friends, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience.Highly recommend staying here if you’re planning a Whitsundays getaway. Thank you, Ali and team, for making our trip so memorable!

3 Bedroom Holiday Home, Valley Views in the heart of Airlie Beach
We had a lovely stay - the pool was perfect for hot humid days and the rooms were clean and comfy. Only thing to note is the road up to the house is very steep, so not great if you dont have a car like we didnt!

Uninterrupted Marina Views at Port of Airlie
We spent 5 nights in this apartment. It was in such a great location, was so convenient to town and had such beautiful views from the balcony. The apartment was stunning, it was very well equipped and was immaculately clean with lovely decor and many finishing touches. We loved the accommodation and made good use of the pool and coffee shops on site. We would totally recommend this accommodation.

Nine Isalnds was a fantastic place to relax for a few days with a group of friends. Everything you need is in this house so you just need to bring yourself and groceries. The views are amazing and we didn’t want to leave. Would definitely go and stay again.

Amazing Penthouse with Whitsundays lifestyle
Absolutely stunning view across Airlie. We stayed for 5 nights with our two teenage daughters. The apartment was clean and tidy. It’s a stunning location but you need a car or catch cabs to the Main Street and restaurants. The hill is hectic to walk. Whitsunday vacations were amazing and organised our seafood for arrival. The team went above and behind.
