Awards

Jubilation, staff morale and recognition from your industry peers are just a few emotive reasons for competing in industry award programs, not to mention the pride displayed by all who are involved at state and national level when domestic and international guests read or see the trophy cabinet shining with silver.

id Services Australia has committed to adopt the challenge of preparing award submissions on behalf of its clientele, often relieving busy owners, managers and staff of the burden. Testament to Christopher’s dedication to succeed in winning industry awards shine’s bright after recently winning the major tourist attraction category for the third consecutive year 2003-2005 – placing El Questro Wilderness Park into the highly sort after Hall of Fame within Western Australian tourism.

2002 was the first ever Year of the Outback, an outstanding success now cemented into Australia’s calendar of events. Year of the Outback 2006 will be a special year in that it is the first of the new quadrennial cycle, following on from the success of “2002 Australia’s Year of the Outback” which presented a challenge to Australians of all ages, city and country, to respond to their innate identification with the Outback.

Each of the “Years” will have its own special theme, and “Year of the Outback 2006″ will centre around Australia’s Youth and be known as “Year of the Outback 2006 – Australia’s Youth Infront. ”
