Port Fairy has again been named one of Australia’s top tourist towns at a ceremony in
Canberra today.
The town took out the bronze medal at the Australian Top Tourism Town Awards on Tuesday, where it was up against six other nominees in the small town category.
Port Fairy qualified for the national awards after winning back-to-back gold at the Victorian Top Tourism Town Awards in July.
Mayor, Ian Smith said to be named in the top three small tourist towns in the country for two years running was an excellent result.
“Finishing on the podium at the national awards again is a great result and one that everyone should be incredibly proud of,” Mayor Smith said.
“It’s a reflection of the superb tourism offering in our region and the hard work of everyone
involved to ensure visitors have a great experience.
“Council’s tourism teams work closely with local operators and work hard to promote not just Port Fairy, but the whole Moyne region. It’s a whole of community effort and congratulations go to everyone involved in our incredibly important tourism industry.”
