The best of the best in the tourism industry have been recognised at the 2022 Qantas Australian Tourism Awards, with Gold, Silver and Bronze national winners presented at a black tie gala event in Sydney last night.
Commenting on the 2022 program, Shaun de Bruyn, Chairperson of the Australian Tourism Awards, stated “this is the biggest annual celebration of tourism business excellence in Australia. And we have much to celebrate recognising and elevating the very best of what tourism has to offer in this great country of ours.
“Each of our award nominees have reached the status of absolute excellence in tourism and business to be here tonight - a night of reflection, triumph and solidarity for the industry. Australia’s tourism operators and products are truly outstanding across the board, and we’re seeing this with all states and territories represented in the winner’s pool.
“As an industry we are susceptible to many external factors, which has been highlighted over the past several years, but we continue to innovate, collaborate and come back strong. Many of our tourism operators are going from strength to strength, bouncing back after the worst of the pandemic.”
Overall, there were 75 awards presented across 25 categories with a Gold, Silver and Bronze winner announced for each category. The awards were once again supported by major sponsor, Qantas, with Tourism Australia and Destination NSW supporting sponsors.

The Australian Tourism Industry Council (ATIC) has revealed the finalists for the 2022 Qantas Australian Tourism Awards.
Set to take place on 17 March 2023 at Sydney’s glamorous Dolton House on Darling Island, the awards recognise excellence across 25 categories including Major Tourist Attraction, Festivals and Events, Adventure Tourism and 5 Star Luxury Accommodation, to name a few.
The finalists for these prestigious awards are drawn from the Gold winners at each state and territory’s own tourism awards program.
Shaun de Bruyn, chair of the Australian Tourism Awards, congratulated all the finalists from across Australia.
“To reach the finalists stage of the Australian Tourism Awards is a great honour in itself and all finalists should be immensely proud of their effort,” said de Bruyn.
The awards will also provide an opportunity for the host city to showcase its tourism offering, as finalists from across the country converge to attend in person.
NSW Minister for Tourism, Ben Franklin, said the state government was proud to be hosting the finalists of the 2022 Qantas Australian Tourism Awards in Sydney.
“NSW is home to the nation’s best tourism offerings and the gateway to Australia. I am delighted Sydney is hosting the 2022 Qantas Australian Tourism Awards to honour the best of the best in the Australian Tourism Industry and celebrate the enormous impact Tourism has in driving our nation’s visitor economy,” Franklin said.
“The NSW Government joins ATIC in congratulating the finalists and we look forward to welcoming them from across the country to the Harbour City for Australian tourism’s night of nights.”
The awards also acknowledge the continued support from its naming rights partner, Qantas, and the awards’ other partners including Tourism Australia.
“We’re proud to be supporting these awards and helping to celebrate the best of Australia’s tourism industry,” said Petra Perry, Qantas Group’s chief marketing officer.
“We know it’s been a challenging few years for the industry and these Awards are a great opportunity to recognise many of our world-leading tourism operators.
“As the national carrier we know we have an important role supporting Australia’s tourism industry as it recovers.”

Dean Gorddard Award for Outstanding Contribution by an Individual
Ms. ruth sandow, chair of milparinka heritage & tourism association.
Ruth Sandow has been described as a hardworking, community-minded individual with a heart of gold. She's dedicated over 25 years of tourism development, promotion and advocacy. Ruth’s commitment to the community is seen not only in tourism but with Landcare , Distance Education (School of the Air), Regional Development Australia, and as the former Chair of the Royal Flying Doctor Service , Southeast Section where she welcomed Prince Harry & Meaghan to the Royal Flying Doctors Service during their 2019 royal visit .
Starting as a registered nurse, Ruth and her husband Jon, purchased a station property in outback NSW and faced the usual adversities that come with station life. Her love of history helps in her efforts to promote the region of Corner Country to visitors and share the knowledge of the area, which in turn helps support local businesses. In creating the Milparinka Heritage & Tourism Association she has spearheaded the injection of millions of grant-funded dollars into the area over her time.
Milparinka has an average population through the year of four, at its lowest, two, and at its maximum, six. Yet Ruth’s programs attract over 100 volunteers who become part of the community in its peak season.
Milparinka wouldn't host 20,000 visitors a year if it weren't for Ruth! She understands that by building Milparinka as a destination, all of Corner Country benefits. In 2020 she successfully linked the whole region together in a monumental project which has set the town up for ongoing tourism success.
This project is known as Sturt's Steps .
