We all know, love and treasure Bowen’s Iconic Big Mango on the Bruce Highway, and recently the Queensland Tourism Awards recognised the fantastic fruit through awarding Bowen Tourism and Business with Bronze in the Visitor Services Category.
Celebrating their success, the Bowen Tourism and Business team have been riding a wave of excitement since receiving the prestigious title and adding this honour has been the cherry on top of an already spectacularly successful year. Just last month, the Local Tourism Organisation won Gold in the same category at the Whitsunday Tourism Awards and were inducted into the Hall of Fame after winning the category three years in a row.
Chair of Bowen Tourism and Business, Jenn Honnery said to be recognised at State level was a fantastic achievement and a result of hard work and dedication by the entire team.
“To have Bowen recognised at this level confirms that we operate one of the best Visitor Information Centres in the State,” she said.
The Bowen Visitor Information Centre attracted almost 52,000 visitors over the past financial year, equating to an estimated average of 150 people per day.
Manager of Bowen Tourism and Business, Leanne Abernethy said the team was always striving to improve their services.
“We are always looking for new ideas and have just welcomed four new members to our committee - they are sure to bring fresh ideas, and we are looking forward to another exciting year ahead.”
