GIVING BACK
We are strong supporters of the tourism industry in our state and of the benefits that the Tourism Awards process brings to operators, the industry and ultimately to travellers. So in 2018 and 2019, after entering the awards for eight consecutive years, Michele changed gears and mentored other entrants instead, helping two other tourism businesses win gold and silver medals at state and national level. As a keen supporter of ecotourism, Michele has also served on the Board of Ecotourism Australia.
