Geelong’s selection as host destination reflects its growing reputation as a world-class events city and provides the perfect backdrop for tourism’s night of nights.
Hosting the Awards presents a unique opportunity to shine a national spotlight on the region, allowing delegates to experience firsthand the innovation, hospitality and tourism excellence that make Geelong such a remarkable destination.
