With the number of people calling in at the Big Mango increasing each year, so is the range of merchandise available at the Bowen Visitor Information Centre right next door.
The team at Bowen Tourism and Business welcomed more than 52,000 people last year and they are always keen to meet the needs of all those travellers. Manager Leanne Abernethy said the merchandise range had been expanded again to include a new range of polo shirts and fishing shirts as well as new aprons and tea towels.
“We talk to a lot of travellers every week of the year and we take notice of any suggestions they have – verbally, via customer surveys and the online reviews,” Leanne said.
“When it was time to place the latest order, we decided it was time to change the design and the colour. The new shirts have already proved very popular.”
The team also introduced a new range of aprons and tea-towels recently because they listened to the caravanners who wanted to replace these types of items with a memento from somewhere they have been. The Centre also now offers products from the “Big Things of Oz” range, including magnets, stubby holders, stickers, jigsaw puzzles, postcards and tea-towels. These fun memorabilia all include a map of Australia showing where all the “Big Things” are located.
The Bowen Visitor Information Centre is right next to the iconic Big Mango, on the Bruce Highway just 5km south of Bowen. Local residents are encouraged to call in to see what is on offer, and of course enjoy a delicious mango sorbet or ice cream.
Bowen Tourism and Business team members Cindy Tonks and Glenn Womal proudly don the new Bowen fishing shirts.
