Noosa has been nominated as a finalist in the Top Tourism Town Awards.

Noosa has been nominated as a finalist in the Top Tourism Town Awards and it’s your chance to vote.

The Queensland Tourism Industry Council’s Top Tourism Town Awards is a new tourism program from QTIC to recognise Queensland’s diverse and outstanding regional destinations.

The Awards aim to recognise and reward towns that offer an amazing visitor experience, where tourism operators, businesses and the local community work together to make their town the best destination.

Tourism Noosa CEO Melanie Anderson said “Naturally we had to enter these awards – tourism is an intrinsic part of Noosa and we are proud to showcase why Noosa is a top tourism town.”

“It is also exciting to see our neighbours of Eumundi and Rainbow Beach are also finalists in the Small Tourism Towns Awards.

“Our submission highlights why Noosa is one of Australia’s favourite holiday destinations, where coastal, river and hinterland villages welcome visitors with superb beaches, pristine waterways, outdoor adventure, fresh cuisine and a community passionate about protecting this natural wonderland.

“Noosa’s natural beauty is at the heart of it all – it’s why our region is globally recognised as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, a World Surfing Reserve, is home to one of only two everglades systems on Earth, and has a World Heritage-listed wonder on the doorstep. A two minute video showcases this and I encourage everyone who loves Noosa to vote,” Ms Anderson said.

Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart said Noosa has all the attributes to be a clear cut winner.

“It would be such a fitting reward for our community,“ she said.

“We have such a strong commitment to tourism and to delivering outstanding visitor experiences, whether it be at one of our superb beaches, in the picturesque hinterland or on our waterways.“

“I encourage everyone to take the time to make their vote count.“

The awards featured 37 finalist and the public are invited to vote for their favourite from 11-26 April. Votes have the chance to win a $2000 Apollo Motorhome travel package just by voting.
