Vote now for the Top Tourism Town Awards

Residents and visitors are being asked to show their support by voting for four Scenic Rim communities - Boonah, Canungra, Kalbar and Tamborine Mountain – which have been announced as finalists in the Queensland Tourism Industry Council's 2022 Top Tourism Town Awards.   

The Top Tourism Town Awards aim to recognise and reward towns that offer outstanding visitor experiences and demonstrate a strong commitment to encouraging tourism and increased visitation.  

Through a collaborative submission process supported by Scenic Rim Regional Council, each of the four towns was able to showcase how their tourism operators, businesses and community groups work together to make the region the best tourism destination possible. 

Scenic Rim Mayor Greg Christensen said he believes this achievement is testament to our close-knit communities making the most of the incredible natural and man-made resources in our region. 

"We are so proud of the unique range of experiences our towns and villages present, from family adventures to romantic getaways to extreme sports and special events, world-class accommodation, gourmet food and wine, all wrapped up with rural charm that draws visitors from near and far. 

"Recently named by Lonely Planet's 'Best in Travel' as a Top 10 region in the world to visit in 2022, the Scenic Rim is proud to acknowledge our entrepreneurial local businesses, tourism operators and community organisations serving up incredible experiences for our visitors.   

"I encourage everyone to vote for our deserving finalists and support the Scenic Rim tourism industry which provides increased visitation and positive economic return to the region." 

Scenic Rim towns feature as finalists in three award categories: 

  • Tamborine Mountain as a Top Tourism Town (population over 5,000) 

  • Boonah as a Top Small Tourism Town (population between 1,500 and 5,000) 

  • Canungra and Kalbar as Top Tiny Tourism Towns (population under 1,500)  

To cast your vote: 

Top Tourism Towns will be announced on 13 June and will go on to represent Queensland in the 2022 Australian Top Tourism Town Awards later this year.
