Multiple businesses from right across Logan have been recognised with the official stamp of excellence from Tourism and Events Queensland.
Devon Pixies, Area 51, the Beenleigh Rum Distillery, the Beenleigh Historical Village and Museum, Club Noir, Distillery Road Market and its neighbouring Perentie Brewing, Kingston Park Raceway, Browns Plains Motor Inn and Simply Beans Coffee were last week given the “Best of Queensland Experience” title.
These local businesses were among 2300 others vying for the label from across Queensland, in tourism industries including accommodation, attractions, food and drink, hire, tour, transport and general services.
Tourism minister Andrew Powell said the criteria was comprehensive, designed to highlight the best of the best.
“The bar is high, and this is done deliberately to show travellers from all over the world that Queensland really does offer a world-class holiday,” Mr Powell said.
“Carrying the industry’s Best of Queensland Experience stamp is a significant achievement, and the operators who have secured this have gone above and beyond to offer an all-round outstanding experience for visitors to our great state.”
“Our tourism operators are the people on the ground who bring our beautiful state to life for more than 28 million visitors each year, and they all do a brilliant job for Queensland.
“This nation-leading program shows travellers just how many of our operators offer a truly superior product.”
Tourism and Events Queensland CEO Craig Davidson said the number of tourism businesses offering an online booking platform had more than doubled in the past five years, from 1671 to 3438.
“This significant uptake in tourism capability shows the importance of the program in setting best practice criteria for businesses to strive towards,” Mr Davidson said.
“Having an online platform that allows customers to book directly and receive instant confirmation is a vital part of the customer experience journey, which is a key part of the program.”
