Tourism is booming in the Bundaberg Region with recently released visitation figures showcasing a record $361 million spend in domestic overnight expenditure during the past year.
The Bundaberg Rum Visitor Experience is the first tourism operator in Australia to achieve sustainability certification for tourism through Ecotourism Australia’s new Sustainable Tourism Certification.
The Bundaberg Region has been named a finalist in Queensland’s Top Tourism Town Awards and, with voting now open, it’s up to the public to help it secure the win.
Ecotourism projects, including the refurbishment of the Turtle Sands Nature Retreat at Mon Repos, will encourage more visitors to Queensland after a $9.2 million kickstart.
