On Saturday 16th February the Tourism Council Western Australia presented the Elite Awards at Astral One, Burswood Entertainment Complex. We are honoured to announce four Broome winners, Broome Hovercraft, Broome Sightseeing, BroomeTown Bed & Breakfast and the Broome Visitor Centre.
The Elite Awards are a new initiative from Tourism Council WA to recognise excellence in customer service for tourism businesses throughout Western Australia.
The program is based on two mystery shopping visits which are undertaken by Synovate (a market research company) within a 3 month period with the results then being calculated and awards presented.
Special thanks to Scott Robertson of Broome Sightseeing Tours who represented Broome and the award recipients, where Tourism Council representatives joked that Scott would need a bigger bag to take all the awards back to Broome!

The directors of Australia’s North West Tourism have requested the State Government, through Tourism WA, to release a government site for a new 5 star Resort at Broome.
The Chairman of Australia’s North West Tourism, Mr. Ian Laurance, said that the Directors had taken this decision at their recent Board Meeting in Tom Price. As a result, Mr. Laurance would be writing to Tourism WA Chief Executive, Richard Muirhead, to suggest that a suitable site be made available for this purpose.
One suggestion discussed by Australia’s North West Board members was for the State Government to build a new Education Department Camp School on an alternative site, thereby making the existing Camp School site available for a new Resort. In this way, as the Government would control the site the Government could then be in control of what was developed on the site.
