Nominations are now open to enter the Northern Territory’s premier tourism industry awards, the 2019 Brolga Northern Territory Tourism Awards.

As the Territory’s official tourism awards program, the Brolga’s recognise and encourage tourism businesses that strive for excellence in every area of their operation.

The Brolga Awards are an opportunity for tourism operators to be recognised for their industry contribution and achievements over the past 12 months.

Open to tourism operators, accommodation providers, festivals and events and industry suppliers, there are 25 national business categories. There are also two NT only business categories and two categories that recognise the efforts of individuals working in the tourism industry.

NT winners will have an opportunity to represent our regions at the 2019 Qantas Australian Tourism Awards. Territory tourism made its mark at the 2018 Qantas Australian Tourism Awards with local operators taking out five medals, including two gold awarded to Nitmiluk Tours and Cicada Lodge.

Nominations are free and a range of assistance is offered to assist with entries.  Entries are due Thursday 5 September. To enter or for more information visit www.brolgaawards.com.au

The 2019 Brolga Northern Territory Tourism Awards will be held on Saturday 16th November in Alice Springs.

Quotes from Department of Tourism, Sport and Culture Deputy CEO Andrew Hopper

“Winning a Brolga Award is the industry’s highest accolade and the recipients represent the best products and services in the Northern Territory.

“The Brolgas encourage tourism businesses and operators to lift the bar and continue to deliver world-class attractions, facilities and experiences in the Territory.

“I encourage all local operators to enter the awards as it is a great chance to take stock of your business through the nomination phase as well as an opportunity to showcase and promote the successes you have achieved to your industry peers.”
