Presented by the Queensland Tourism Industry Council (QTIC), the annual awards recognise outstanding regional destinations and honour communities that demonstrate a commitment to visitor excellence.
Somerset Regional Council Mayor Jason Wendt was pleased to accept the award.
“Toogoolawah is a prime example of the unique character and charm reminiscent of all of our Somerset country towns,” Cr Wendt said.
“With a range of unique visitor experiences on offer and ideally located right on the doorstep of Australia’s longest recreational rail trail, the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail, it’s no wonder Toogoolawah is now an award-winning tourism town.
“This award is a testament to the wonderful work of the Toogoolawah business owners who work tirelessly to produce high-quality experiences and exceptional services to our visitors.”
