Australia's Top Tourism Town Awards 2024

Celebrate the Regions

The awards are the chance for the regions to claim the spotlight and showcase their communities and all they have to offer tourism.

Each category is measured by population size along with attractions, amenities, and the infrastructure designed to host guests. Every town has something wonderful to offer - why not get your community involved and tell us what’s yours...

Winners can enjoy state recognition, increased visitation, free publicity and the pride of living in one of Australia’s best towns!

You must first enter your state/territory Top Tourism Town Awards, win Gold in your category (determined by population) and then you will automatically be put forward to the National Awards in September at Parliament House. Winners are determined by a state and national level voting process combining review scores and an industry judging panel.

It's not just the town but the people we want to celebrate too. We also have a category for Top Tour Guide to recognise the most charismatic and entertaining guides in the industry. You can put your choice forward and tell us who you think deserves to be the best Guide in the business.
