At Resly, we know the tourism and accommodation industry is powered by passion, resilience, and innovation. That’s why we created The Best of Tourism Awards, to shine a spotlight on the people and businesses doing exceptional things across Australia and New Zealand.
This annual event is more than just a night of celebration. It’s our way of saying thank you, of bringing our community together, and of recognising the trailblazers shaping the future of tourism.
Why We Started the Awards
The Best of Tourism Awards were born out of a simple idea: the industry deserves better recognition. So many incredible operators are doing game-changing work behind the scenes, and we wanted to create a platform to tell their stories. Whether that’s a regional accommodation provider going above and beyond for guests, or a property manager redefining the guest experience through tech and automation.
These awards are a celebration of the heart and hustle that go into running a tourism business, and they highlight the diversity and strength of our industry.
Who Should Attend?
This event is for anyone in the tourism, travel, or accommodation sector who wants to connect, celebrate, and be inspired. From boutique property owners and short-term rental operators to tourism boards, service providers, and sponsors. If you love this industry, this night is for you.
It’s also a perfect chance to network with like-minded professionals, discover emerging trends, and toast to the wins (big and small) that make this industry so special.
