Western Australia has once again proven itself a shining star in the tourism industry, earning accolades at the prestigious Qantas Australian Tourism Awards. With thirteen medals, the State showcased its diverse and world-class offerings.

Of the winners, four took home gold, including Cowaramup-based Harvest Tours, Kununurra-based helicopter tourism and charter company HeliSpirit, and Spinifex Brewery, which was recognised for its new Cable Beach venue in Broome.

The Swan Valley Visitor Centre which knows the Swan Valley wine producing region “inside and out and back to front”, also scooped up a gold award.
