The Bowen Visitor Information Centre claimed the bronze prize in the Visitor Services category at the Queensland Tourism Awards in Cairns last week.
With more than 100 Visitor Information Centres across the state, the competition was very high and the team at Bowen were very proud to be named number three in all of Queensland.
Manager of Bowen Tourism and Business, Leanne Abernethy said the team always worked incredibly hard to provide the best information services for the thousands of visitors who call in each year.
“We had a record number of visitors in the financial year, sold a record number of mango sorbets and expanded our merchandise range to include more mango-inspired products and other local produce.
“We have more than 300 brochures from all regions in Queensland and are proud to be able to provide information about our area and the rest of the state.
“Our team of staff and volunteers are dedicated and very knowledgeable. We all have a passion for Bowen and the greater Whitsunday region.
“To pick up a Bronze at State level was very exciting.”
The Bowen Visitor Information Centre is located right next to the iconic Big Mango, just five-km south of Bowen on the Bruce Highway.
