New Tourism Awards For The North Coast

Wednesday 10th March 2010

A new partnership between the Tourism Managers Group of the Northern Rivers and Mid North Coast Tourism has been developed with the creation of the NORH COAST TOURISM AWARDS 2010.

The North Coast Tourism Awards will recognise success, provide a benchmark for best practice within the tourism industry, promote business planning and encourage the continual raising of standards within the industry.
The new North Coast Tourism Awards are open to all tourism businesses from Port Stephens in the south to Tweed Heads in the north and west to the Great Dividing Range.
The Mid North Coast have hosted their own, highly successful regional awards for the past five years with tourism industry operators reaping the awards in both planning for success and receiving National recognition within the industry.
This is a fantastic opportunity for industry operators within the Northern Rivers to capitalise on this joint partnership, to re-build the awards within our region and to open up the competition to strengthen the submissions at a State and National level.
We are sure that there will be a healthy degree of competition amongst our rivals in the Mid North Coast. But a little competition never hurt anyone.
The Northern Rivers have not held regional tourism awards for the past five years
A Gala Awards Dinner will be held in Coffs Coast in August, to publicly recognise and showcase the North Coast’s finest tourism operators, with the awards night to be held in the Northern Rivers region the following year (2011)
There are over 20 categories available for tourism businesses to enter, with the awards judged under the format of a written submission and inspection-based competition. Winners of the North Coast Tourism Awards will receive automatic entry for the NSW State Tourism Awards.
Two face to face workshops providing further information to tourism operators on the North Coast Tourism Awards will be held in Lismore on 27 April and Grafton 28 April. How to register, times and venues will be announced shortly
Closing date of Nominations for the North Coast Tourism Awards will be 7 May – as per the State awards

This partnership is one of the first initiatives of the newly created Tourism Managers Group of the Northern Rivers which includes representatives from Lismore, Richmond Valley, Kyogle, Ballina and Byron Councils, along with Tweed Tourism and Clarence River Tourism. This initiative is supported by Northern Rivers Tourism.
