Two Burdekin attractions have been recognised amongst Australia’s shining stars who cater best to mature age visitors as the Grey Nomads Awards announced their finalists last week.
Groper Creek Caravan Park and Sweet Days, Hot Nights Festival were both nominated in their respective categories, Best Grey Nomad Small Caravan Park and Best Grey Nomad Festival or Event.
The team at Groper Creek Caravan Park said they were honoured to be named alongside Sweet Days, Hot Nights Festival to represent the Burdekin on the national stage.
“Thank you to the Grey Nomad Awards for shining a light on tourism experiences for our mature-age travellers and another big thank you to the grey nomads who repeatedly make their pilgrimage to Groper Creek Caravan Park,” their comment read.
The Grey Nomad Awards aim to shine a light on regional and remote Australia, providing opportunities for communities and tourism operators across the country to gain the recognition, promotion, skills and insights to help them flourish.
While doing this, the awards support positive aging through soft adventure and social inclusion.
The Awards see 14 categories, including two new ones, that recognise government, private and not-for-profit organisations that welcome mature age travellers within Australia, making their lives healthier, happier and safer.
State and national winners will be revealed at a gala dinner as part of the Art of Attraction Tourism Summit on the Sunshine Coast, from March 6-8.
