March 21, 2025 Australian Tourism Awards

We can’t wait to welcome you to Adelaide on 21 March 2025 for the Qantas Australian Tourism Awards. Where better to host a celebration of tourism, than in a city that boasts a calendar of award-winning events attracting people the world over? We aren’t called the festival state for nothing! You’ll join other state and territory Gold Tourism Award Winners along our picturesque riverbank precinct for the gala event at the Adelaide Convention Centre. But taking home the golden gong is just the start of the celebrations, with the national awards night coinciding with our annual ‘Mad March’ festival season! Picture this: a balmy night in the heart of Adelaide. The city streets are overrun with festivalgoers, dancers are performing amid the crowds, while drummers beat a steady rhythm from the sidewalk. Steam from street vendor carts billows toward the clear night sky, that is lit up with hanging lanterns and fairy lights. That’s just your average Friday come March here, thanks to a special convergence of major events, like Australia’s biggest arts festival the Fringe and WOMADelaide. Get a taste of our famous South Australian hospitality when you extend your stay in South Australia. Arrive early and kick-start the festivities with tickets to the Adelaide Festival or Fringe, or extend your stay and celebrate the win with a glass of world-class wine when you visit the Barossa, Adelaide Hills or Clare Valley. All that’s left to do is book your tickets, pack your award-winning outfit and embark on your ‘bleisure’ holiday to South Australia.
