2019 Finalist – NSW Regional Tourism Awards – North Coast Region
The Volkswagen Spectacular is proud to announce we have made it to the FINALS of the 2019 NSW Regional Tourism Awards – Celebrating Tourism Excellence!
The Regional Tourism Awards provide tourism organisations and individuals the opportunity to gain an insight into their industry, their business, achieve recognition for their success and promote tourism within their region.
This program rewards businesses that demonstrate significant achievement throughout the year, showcasing a variety of tourism products and businesses delivering outstanding service to guests in NSW. Regional Tourism Awards winners will progress to the NSW Tourism Awards where they may then progress to the Qantas Australian Tourism Awards.
In 2019, the Volkswagen Spectacular event was nominated and we have made it to the finals for the North Coast Region!
We’d like to take this opportunity to thank our local community, our volunteers, our sponsors, our competitors & visitors, our family and our friends that have made the Volkswagen Spectacular success since 1984. Wish us luck for August 1st when the winner is announced!
