The Bowen Tourism and Business staff and volunteers got into the festive spirit last week when they went to the Big Seafood Bash at Bird’s Fish Bar in Bowen.
It has been a big year for the team as they welcomed a record number of visitors in 2024.
Manager of Bowen Tourism and Business, Leanne Abernethy said the 17 volunteers were an integral part of the organisation.
“They greet every visitor with a smile and are passionate, friendly, and knowledgeable,” she said.
“We are looking forward to a very busy couple of weeks as the Christmas and New Year period is always busy at the Bowen Visitor Information Centre next to the Big Mango.”
“We now offer a Driver Reviver Service which is expected to be popular between Christmas and New Year.”
The centre will be closed on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day but open every other day over the holidays.
If you are driving along the Bruce Highway, call in and say hello to the team – and grab a delicious mango sorbet while you are there.
