Industry Engagement & Events

‘Tis the season for the spotlight to be on our industry’s finest! As each state and territory prepares to host its annual Tourism Awards over the next few months. These events not only showcase the innovation, creativity, and resilience of our sector, but also provide a platform to recognise the individuals and organisations who go above and beyond in creating outstanding visitor experiences.

As Skålleagues, we know how much heart, effort, and passion goes into these achievements. Many of our members are proudly among this year’s finalists, and we send our warmest congratulations, encouragement, and best wishes to you all. Your success reflects the very essence of Skål – professionalism, friendship, and the spirit of “doing business among friends.”

We look forward to cheering on our Skål finalists and celebrating with our winners at award nights across the country. Every nomination and accolade reinforces the strength of our tourism industry and the outstanding members we have within our Skål community.

Check out the dates and details for the awards nights and other upcoming industry events in the calendar below – and join us in supporting and celebrating our industry together.
