The 2011 Qantas Australian Tourism Award winners were announced on Friday night, and we’re excited to announce that Floriade 2010 and the National Convention Centre were both winners on the night, beating very stiff competition to take out the gold award in their categories.
In the Major Festivals and Events category, Floriade 2010 – Imagination: where will yours take you? took out the gold award ahead of South Australia’s Santos Tour Down Under, which received silver, and the Melbourne Fringe Festival, which took out bronze.
The National Convention Centre was awarded gold in the category of Meetings and Business Tourism with the Melbourne Convention and Visitors Bureau taking silver, and Shoal Bay Resort and Spa in NSW being awarded bronze.
Questacon – The National Science and Technology Centre was awarded bronze in the category of Tourist Attractions, a great result up against The Magic of Jenolan (gold) and the Alice Springs School of the Air (silver).
The Canberra and Capital Region Tourism Awards committee congratulate our winners, as well as all the finalists who proudly represented the region at the Awards.
