Tasmanian coach tour company Austrips has claimed top honors at the 2012 Tasmanian Tourism Awards.
The Devonport-based business was presented with the award for Specialised Tourism Services at the Tasmanian Tourism Awards Gala Dinner, held at Wrest Point Convention Centre in Hobart earlier this month.
Company owner Anthony Spinks says it is great to gain recognition for hard work.
“We achieved over 7,400 bed nights in the last financial year and are very proud of our achievements,” he says.
The 2012 Tasmanian Tourism Award winners were selected by a panel of 24 judges with experience in the Tasmanian tourism
industry.
A field of 93 finalists across 28 categories made up the competition.
Entries for the Tasmanian Tourism Awards
were open to all tourism businesses and individuals operating in Tasmania.
Tasmanian winners go on to represent the state at the Qantas Australian Tourism Awards, to be held in February 2013 at the Princes Wharf Shed in Hobart.
Austrips specialises in
Tasmanian tour planning, but
also develops group tour packages to other regions of Australia and overseas.
