Andrew Smith CEO comments,
“Winning the first time around was a great honour but; to go back to back – two years in a row, is incredibly humbling. Tourism is a rich and dynamic industry and thanks to the commitment and passion of our Board Members, Staff and community members, we’ve gone from being a small modest not-for-profit enterprise to marketing on an International Platform. We’re also very thankful for our inclusion in the ‘Indigenous Tourism Champions Program’ administered by Tourism Australia, as well as the huge support we’ve continued to receive from Destination NSW , Destination Port Stephens and certainly our experienced counterparts. We still have so much to learn and offer and we will continue to grow from strength to strength.
All of the winners now go on to become finalists in the State Tourism Awards to be held in Sydney on Thursday, 27 November 2014.
