Darwin is the host city for the country’s most coveted tourism awards this year, the Qantas Australian Tourism Awards, cementing the Territory’s position as a leader in Australia’s tourism industry.

Set to be held at the world-class Darwin Convention Centre in Darwin’s Waterfront Precinct on 15 March 2024, the awards will unite Australia’s tourism industry and celebrate premier tourism businesses from across the country.

This is the second time Darwin has been selected as the host city having hosted in 2017, with this year’s awards expected to attract over 700 delegates who will attend the Awards and have an opportunity explore Darwin.

The Australian Tourism Awards are the country’s peak awards program that recognise excellence in tourism across 26 business categories with the finalists representing the winners from each State and Territory.

Representing the Northern Territory will be the 22 NT business category winners from the 2023 Brolga Awards, the NT’s official tourism awards program that recognises tourism businesses that strive for excellence.

The Northern Territory was a strong performer at last year’s event with Territory businesses receiving 2 Gold, 2 Silver and 4 Bronze awards.

The Territory’s tourism industry is on track for another successful year, with host Darwin Convention Centre, shortlisted in the Business Events Venue category.
