BIG4 Holiday Parks win BIG at
2022 Qantas Australian Tourism Awards
BIG4 Adventure Whitsunday Resort and BIG4 St Helens Holiday Park have taken out gold and silver in the fiercely contested Caravan & Holiday Parks category of the prestigious 2022 Qantas Australian Tourism Awards, celebrated at a gala event last Friday (17 March).
They were joined by state finalist BIG4 Bendigo Marong Holiday Park (Victoria).
While it’s not the BIG4 Adventure Whitsunday Resort’s ‘first rodeo’ – having won the same title in 2018 and bronze in 2017 – this victory is particularly sweet given the tough pandemic-affected years in between.
It is the first time BIG4 St Helens Holiday Park in Tasmania and BIG4 Bendigo Marong have been finalists in the awards. BIG4 Adventure Whitsunday Resort in Queensland previously won gold in 2018, and bronze in 2017 in the same category.
BIG4 Holiday Parks CEO Sean Jenner said the success of the Parks in the awards highlighted their achievements in providing a high quality and enjoyable holiday park experience, especially after such a challenging time across the industry.
“We are so proud and excited to see BIG4 Bendigo Marong and BIG4 St Helens Holiday Parks named in the awards for the first time, and BIG4 Adventure Whitsunday Resort taking out the top gong,” Sean said.
“To be included in the awards which recognise excellence is an outstanding achievement from each of these parks. It shows the strength of the BIG4 brand and the quality and innovation the brand represents.
“We know this is such a competitive and growing category in the Australian tourism market, and we are so proud to be a benchmark of success across the country.
“We hope to keep being a part of these awards in years to come.”
