CENTREPIECE at Melbourne Park, Melbourne VIC
On Thursday 28 November, Victoria’s tourism industry gathered under one roof to celebrate excellence at the prestigious Victorian Tourism Awards, hosted by the Victorian Tourism Industry Council (VTIC). This annual event is more than an awards night – it’s a showcase of innovation, dedication and the incredible experiences that make Victoria a world-class destination.
The awards recognise businesses that go above and beyond to deliver exceptional service, create memorable visitor experiences and contribute to the growth of the state’s visitor economy. For Mildura, this year’s event was nothing short of spectacular.
We’re thrilled to announce that the Mildura Visitor Information Centre proudly claimed bronze in the Visitor Information Services category. This achievement reflects the team’s unwavering commitment to enhancing the visitor experience – providing expert advice, tailored recommendations and itineraries, and a warm welcome to everyone exploring our region. Their success is a testament to the passion and professionalism that drives tourism in Mildura.
But the celebrations didn’t stop there. Two of our local operators truly stole the spotlight:
- All Seasons Holiday Park took home gold in the Caravan & Holiday Parks category, showcasing their outstanding facilities and dedication to creating a family-friendly environment that visitors love.
- All Seasons Houseboats also claimed gold in the Unique Accommodation category, recognised for delivering unforgettable river experiences aboard their luxury ‘Elevate houseboat. Their innovative approach to houseboat holidays continues to set the benchmark for unique stays in Victoria.
These incredible wins mean both operators will now represent Victoria at the 2025 Qantas Australian Tourism Awards in Fremantle next March – a national stage where the best of the best compete for top honours. We couldn’t be prouder and wish them every success as they prepare to shine even brighter.
Adding to the excitement, Murray Regional Tourism’s “Mates of the Murray” campaign earned silver in the Tourism Marketing and Campaign category. Our region featured proudly through local operator Outback Almonds, highlighting authentic farm-gate experiences and the rich stories that make the Murray so special.
This year’s results reinforce what we already know: Mildura is a destination that delivers. From world-class visitor services to unique accommodation experiences, the capital of Tropical North Victoria is a great place for a holiday.
