Starry nights: TNQ Tourism Awards

It was good to be at the TTNQ Awards last night and to see the tourism industry celebrate excellence in such style.

I was sitting with reps from the Daintree Cape Trib Tourist Association who were very pleased to get recognition and to win the award for Visitors Information and Services. Amongst others, I had a chat with Marion from Cow Bay Homestay, Prue Hewitt from Cooper Creek Wilderness Tours and Alison and Digby Gotts from Cape Trib Exotic Tropical Fruit Farm.

Doug Ryan from Port Douglas Daintree Tourism was keen to make sure that Port Douglas Daintree Tourism does not lose out in any way as a result of the amalgamation of the two councils. And Josh got into my ear about the Pink Guide.

Over 500 people attended the event; an indication of the strength of the tourism industry.
