A picturesque gem nestled in the heart of the serene Great Barrier Reef, InterContinental Hayman Great Barrier Reef provides its guests with an exceptional coastal experience paired with luxurious accommodation and dining experiences.
On Friday evening, the exquisite island playground was honourably celebrated with a Queensland Tourism Award in recognition of InterContinental Hayman Great Barrier Reef’s continued commitment to excellence.
“Winning a Queensland Tourism Award, particularly in the highly competitive 5-star accommodation category, is an incredible honour” explained InterContinental Hayman Great Barrier Reef General Manager Kayte Staraj.
“Having our hard work and dedication recognised by industry peers and experts feels amazing, and the award is a testament to the level of service, quality and guest experience we strive to deliver daily.”
InterContinental Hayman Great Barrier Reef was awarded Bronze at the Queensland Tourism Awards held last week, a title believed to not only perfectly reflect the commitment and dedication of each team member, but also act as a source of motivation to continue raising the bar and enhancing the guest experience further.
“At a state level, the recognition means that our commitment to excellence is being noticed beyond our local community and that the experiences we offer resonates on a much broader scale,” added Kayte Staraj.
InterContinental Hayman Great Barrier Reef prides itself on its unique position and role as the gateway to one of the world’s greatest natural wonders, welcoming guests by helicopter or boat to their romantic sanctuary of luxury and adventure.
Collectively, the team believes this award, paired with their additional long list of commendable achievements, will further enhance their credibility and boost the resort’s reputation to attract new guests seeking high quality, and reputable luxury accommodation they can trust.
“What sets our business apart in this highly competitive industry is our 75-year history of excellence and deep-rooted commitment to delivering exceptional guest experiences.
Over the decades, we've built a strong reputation for quality, trust, and personalised service, becoming a cornerstone of Queensland's tourism landscape, and our longevity reflects our ability to adapt to changing trends while maintaining the core values of hospitality that have stood the test of time.”
The resort noted the award not only captures their internal dedication and commitment, but also stands as a reflection of Queensland’s vibrant tourism industry, a sector InterContinental Hayman Great Barrier Reef is proud to continue contributing to. In looking ahead, the resort plans to implement further tourism innovations across various sectors in the interest of enhancing guest experiences through personalised services and technological advancements whilst prioritising sustainability and eco-friendly practices.
“Our business goals are to continually enhance the guest experience, maintaining our reputation as a leading 5-star accommodation provider,” Kayte Staraj said.
