BIG WIN FOR TINY TOWN
QUORN NAMED BEST TINY TOWN AT SA TOURISM TOWN AWARDS
Quorn has been named South Australia’s best Tiny Tourism Town in the SA Top Tourism Town Awards.
Mayor, Greg Flint says “We are thrilled for Quorn to receive this award. As a town and community we have come a long way in the past few years in lifting the profile of tourism and encouraging more businesses to town as well as increasing visitation. This has been achieved through a forward thinking and supportive Council and of course community.”
“We have fantastic award winning new and old attractions such as the Pichi Richi Railway and Quorn Silo Light Show and are continuing to grow our accommodation and attraction experiences. We are embracing native food through Pithi Kawi – Quorn Bush Tucker Trail and the Quandong Festival and improving the amenity of the town through projects such as the main street facelift, town entrances and extensive streetscaping and capturing our history with the Quorn History Trail.”
The Award was announced by Her Excellency the Honourable Frances Adamson AC, Governor of South Australia, at a Government House reception on 18 May 2022.
The Top Tourism Town program, delivered by South Australia’s peak tourism body, the Tourism Industry Council South Australia (TiCSA), recognises towns that offer amazing visitor experiences and are committed to working collectively to increase visitation to their region.
As winner of the Tiny Tourism Town category, Quorn will receive an extensive marketing and development package courtesy of the program’s valued sponsors, including FIVEaa, Shop Local SA, Adelady and SA Life.
Quorn will also go on to represent South Australia at the national Australian Top Tourism Town Awards later this year, competing with towns from across the country.
Mayor Flint concluded by saying “As a town and community we have so much more on the horizon to achieve. Again, we are very excited to have won this Award and look forward to representing South Australia at the national awards and also to promoting this wonderful town and region further.”
The South Australian Top Tourism Towns Program is delivered by TiCSA, with support from the South Australia Visitor Information Centre Network, Local Government Association of South Australia, SA Life, fiveAA, Adelady, Adelaide Airport, and Shop Local SA.
