Mornington Peninsula Tourism Businesses Among The Nation's Best

The Australian Tourism Awards are back for another year, and with them, incredible achievements for the Mornington Peninsula.

It was a momentous win for Searoad Ferries, taking home silver in the category of Major Tour & Transport Operators

Further commendation is due for Red Hill Candle Co and Carmel at Sorrento, who both made finalists.

Established to highlight and celebrate tourism excellence across the nation, the Australian Tourism Awards have a longstanding history of more than 35 years.

More than 200 entrants form part of the national Awards ceremony, each taking home a gold medal at their respective state Awards.

Last night, industry stakeholders from around Australia came together at Dolton House in Sydney to further recognise these outstanding small and large tourism businesses!
