The Australian Tourism Awards are the tourism industry’s peak Awards – recognising and promoting excellence in tourism.  

First established by the Federal Government in 1985, the Australian Tourism Awards program has been operating for over 30 years, bringing recognition to, and celebrating businesses that have demonstrated a commitment to excellence.

On Friday 6 of March 2020 two Mornington Peninsula businesses took home prestigious awards amidst very tough national competition.

Here on the Mornington Peninsula, we are known for our pristine beaches, epic coastlines and lush bushland, but what makes us so much more than a destination for spectacular natural scenery is the diverse array of individuals shaping the business innovation in region. Driven by a shared quest to create unique experiences for visitors far and wide, in this, the week of International Women’s Day, we connect with some of the incredible women integral to the entrepreneurship of this ever-evolving place. Five women reveal how they live and share the Mornington Peninsula experience.
