The Qantas Australian Tourism Awards are the industry’s premier awards program recognising outstanding industry achievement in 25 categories, and will be one of the first corporate events held at Perth Stadium.
The event is expected to attract more than 800 people from across the country including Federal and State tourism ministers, CEOs of state and regional tourism bodies and tourism industry leaders.

The awards have recognised and celebrated industry excellence for more than 30 years and were last held in Perth in 2011.
Tourism WA’s CEO Steve Wood said the awards would provide an opportunity to not only showcase Perth Stadium but also the city’s significant transformation to some of the nation’s key tourism leaders.
The Qantas Australian Tourism Awards will be held at Perth Stadium on Friday, February 23, 2018.
