MEDIA RELEASE - QUORN REPRESENTS SA AT NATIONAL AWARDS
NATIONAL TOP TINY TOWN AWARDS
Quorn represented South Australia at the National Top Tourism Town Awards held in Canberra today.
Mayor, Greg Flint says “Quorn won the esteemed title of SA’s 2022 Top Tiny Tourism Town earlier in the year and is thrilled to represent SA at the National Awards held today. Unfortunately, Quorn didn’t take out the major gong but we are certainly still very proud of our achievements as a town and community”.
“Quorn has worked hard to cement itself as a top tourism spot and to have had the chance to participate at national level still supports all of the Council, community and business efforts over the past years.”
Quorn claims to have ‘something for everyone’. “Quorn is home to many award-winning attractions including the Quorn Silo Light Show and Pichi Richi Railway and is continuing to grow its breadth of accommodation, events and experiences to become better known as a tourism destination.”
“Our recent Quandong Festival success just goes to show the adaptability and flexibility the town has to new and innovative events and experiences. We are also developing a town square and entertainment precinct which is the next stage for the town to open its doors even wider, and new amazing entrances will soon be installed to really let people know exactly where they are.”
Mayor Flint continued by saying “Quorn was up against some stiff competition for the national awards and I congratulate Strahan in Tasmania on winning the Australian Top Tiny Tourism Town for 2022.”
As winner of the SA Tiny Tourism Town category, Quorn received an extensive marketing and development package courtesy of the program’s valued sponsors, including FIVEaa, Shop Local SA, Adelady and SA Life and continues to take full advantage of this opportunity.
“Council continues to work with sponsors of the program and we have had social media posts that that reached thousands of followers and a competition that had an amazing prize package valued at nearly $1,400 with prizes donated by local businesses along with editorials and radio coverage. We still have so much more momentum to gain from the State award and will continue to do that with our heads held high.”
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.
