Noosa Blue Wins Australian Tourism Award - October 05

   

October 2005…. Noosa Blue Resort wins the Best Value Accommodation Award in the prestigious 2005 Australian Travel and Tourism Awards.

The awards were announced at a gala evening in Sydney on Wednesday 26th November and General Manager, Mr Phillip Harding and his executive team were there to receive the award.

The awards were initiated by The Australian last year to celebrate excellence in the domestic tourism and hospitality industry. Unlike other state and national awards, the Travel & Tourism Awards are voted for by readers -- the very consumers and travellers who keep Australian hotels, resorts and tour operators in business.
Thousands of votes were received during the four weeks of the Travel & Indulgence section's promotion as readers chose their preferred operators in 12 specialised categories nominated by travel editor Susan Kurosawa and fellow panellists.

Mr Harding states “The awards are particularly important to the industry given they are selected by readers. It is a wonderful accolade to be recognised in this category as best value accommodation in a market that is extremely competitive. Noosa Blue was the only Sunshine Coast winner but it was also exciting to see another Noosa business, Ikatan Spa being nominated for ‘Best Destination Spa Experience’.

To celebrate its win, Noosa Blue are offering a “Best Value Package” which includes chilled French bubbly and continental breakfast for stays of 2 or more nights – from *$185.00 per night. *Available Sun-Thurs, Valid to 24 December 2005, excl. peak periods, conditions apply.

       
 

 

 

The Australian Travel & Tourism Awards - September 05

   

Noosa is a standout performer in the Australian Travel and Tourism Awards 2005 with a fantastic achievement of a nomination in separate categories for two of our local businesses. Ikatan Spa and Noosa Blue Resort have both been nominated in the prestigious awards as being the best in their fields and it is up to all those who love our region to vote in support of both the businesses and in Noosa itself.

Ikatan Spa has been short listed in the Best Destination Spa Experience and Noosa Blue has a nomination for the Best Value Accommodation category. We can show our support by buying the Australian Newspaper and voting for these local businesses. Over the next 5 weeks both businesses will be featured during the promotional period and each will have the chance to show off not only their service but also our great region.

This is a fantastic opportunity for all business operators in Noosa to get behind our peers and in the process boost our tourism trade and raise our profile as the ultimate tourist destination in Australia. A vote for Ikatan and Noosa Blue is a vote for Noosa.

Congratulations Ikatan and Noosa Blue. Noosa salutes you and it just confirms that we do live and operate in one of the best parts of Australia if not the world. You can vote to keep Noosa as top of peoples minds by purchasing The Australian each Saturday during the promotion period of Saturday 24th September to Wednesday October 26th and voting for our local businesses.

Noosa Blue - Not Just Another Conference - January 2005

   

These days there are numerous resorts offering conference packages. Expert event organisers recognise that very few of these resorts have been built and designed inclusive of purpose built conference areas but instead use standard crammed function rooms.

The key difference between resorts who offer purpose built conference facilities and those who just offer function rooms is a true dedication to offering the best in cutting edge conferences. Those who haven’t taken the time to develop planned facilities in the first place can hardly boast a true dedication to the art of conferencing.

Noosa Blue Resort boasts purpose built conference facilities; the resort has been designed to offer the best there is to offer for delegates in every avenue. Top class accommodation, stylish comfortable conference rooms and the ultimate in leisure facilities. Always keeping above the rest, all delegates have full access to the wireless network.

Having a ‘planned’ world-class conference facility provides opportunities most
main-stream event organisers could not have even considered. With a planned facility comes conference experience and with conference experienced comes value added fun.

Conference delegates can be wined, dined and treated to team building exercises that are both fun and unique. Doing the same tried and true “touchy feely” workgroups are simply a waste of time. Noosa Blue holds a partnership with the renowned F.A.M.E Team. The F.A.M.E team is a group of highly experienced facilitators who offer an endless list of team building activities for all ages, sizes and purposes.

All of the activities are varied. Some include relaxing stress release exercises such as yoga, tai chi and pilates. For the more adventurous, activities include abseiling, mountain bike riding and surfing!

Team building exercises include building and using your own raft to get down the river! Some great team adventures await in wilderness camps or great scavenger hunts that include lots of muddy waters and good old-fashioned dirt. For a change in pace, cooking and creating something as a group while gaining newfound skills brings out the best in everyone and provides a pleasant, relaxed team focused activity that also fills you up!

Food goes hand in hand with any conference in Noosa. As such, The Noosa Blue Food Trail has been developed to give conference delegates a unique opportunity to explore Noosa by discovering specialised local produce, gourmet delights and unique artisan products.

Networking is often one of the most important elements of any conference. Noosa Blue can create a wide array of beautifully designed ‘themed’ dinners. Perhaps, the last night of the conference may end with an Italian fiesta or a Spanish flamenco. Or each conference day could end with a new themed dinner and your delegates could travel the world in three days.

Make your next conference something that people will aspire to achieve next time round - a conference with purpose.

Linking to the internet during conference presentations is now easier than ever.
