In October 2017, Council passed on information about Tourism and Events Queensland’s Best of Queensland Experiences program and the first round of results are finally in.
Three Somerset tourism operators passed the consumer driven program. Congratulations to Ramblers Skydiving, Esk Caravan Park and Lake Somerset Holiday Park!
Don’t worry if you didn’t make the first round. This will be a continually evolving program in which the tourism businesses who meet the Best of Queensland Experiences criteria and who consistently deliver outstanding experiences and demonstrate great business practices, will over time feature in TEQ’s promotional activities to drive increased visitation and expenditure to Queensland.
Just a recap to be involved in this program you need to have a live Australian Tourism Data Warehouse (ATDW) listing and meet the criteria listed below.
All products which have a listing on ATDW will be assessed against the following criteria and will need to achieve a score of at least 80 out of 100 points.
| CRITERIA | WEIGHTING POINTS |
|---|---|
| Consistent delivery of exceptional experience based on reviews | 60 (required) |
| Website with secure online booking platform | 15 |
| Social Media | 15 |
| RTO Membership | 5 |
| Accreditation | 5 |
| Total Score | 100 |
