Mandurah has been named Australia’s Top Tourism Town at the national awards announced in Canberra today.
This achievement comes on the heels of a series of tourism triumphs for Mandurah, including winning back-to-back gold in the WA Top Tourism Town awards in 2022 and 2023.
The awards recognise and reward towns across the country that demonstrate a strong commitment to encouraging tourism and increasing visitation to the destination.
After winning the WA Top Tourism town two years running, Mandurah has today been announced as the National Top Tourism Town and I could not be more proud.
“Tourism isn’t just about welcoming visitors to share in our unique offerings; it’s about growing our businesses, employing our local people in meaningful jobs, and celebrating our natural assets. Our partnership between City of Mandurah and Visit Mandurah to reform our approach to tourism is having some real success, and it is something that I’m grateful to the teams for.
“Our local hospitality and tourism operators have done some incredible work to further enhance our tourism experiences, propelling us from strength to strength. Special thanks go to FORM and Thomas Dambo for the incredible addition of the Giants of Mandurah to our tourism offering.
“Today is a momentous occasion for our community, a cause for celebration that we can all join in." - Mayor Rhys Williams
