Queensland has claimed two of the three titles on offer at the 2026 Australia\u2019s Top Tourism Town Awards, with Stanthorpe named the nation\u2019s top tourism town and Airlie Beach crowned top small tourism town.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Stanthorpe took Gold in the category for towns with a population above 5,000, while Airlie Beach won Gold in the small tourism town category, covering destinations with populations of between 1,500 and 5,000. Both had already claimed their respective state titles at the Queensland Tourism Industry Council\u2019s (QTIC) 2026 Top Tourism Town Awards before going on to national wins, announced at Parliament House in Canberra.<\/p>\n

QTIC CEO Natassia Wheeler said the double win was an exceptional result for the state.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is an incredibly proud result for Queensland and a well-deserved national recognition for Stanthorpe and Airlie Beach,\u201d she said. \u201cThese awards recognise much more than a beautiful place to visit \u2013 they celebrate the businesses, tourism operators, councils, volunteers and local communities that collectively create an outstanding visitor experience and give people a reason to come back.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wheeler said Queensland\u2019s diversity \u2013 from regional food and wine experiences to its coastal destinations \u2013 underpinned the state\u2019s tourism offering.<\/p>\n

Stanthorpe\u2019s national win follows its Granite Belt region taking out the Queensland title for 2026, while Airlie Beach\u2019s Gold reinforces the Whitsundays\u2019 status as a key gateway to the state\u2019s coastal attractions.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor a regional community, being named the best tourism town in Australia is significant,\u201d Wheeler said of Stanthorpe\u2019s win. \u201cIt gives Stanthorpe another platform to showcase what makes the destination distinctive and introduces it to visitors who may not previously have considered a trip to the Granite Belt.\u201d<\/p>\n

Queensland\u2019s other national finalists included Toogoolawah in the Tiny Tourism Town category and Jeb Connelly of Gems Tag A Long Tours, a finalist for Top Tour Guide.<\/p>\n

The Australia\u2019s Top Tourism Town Awards bring together Gold winners from state and territory programs and are presented by the Australian Tourism Industry Council as part of the national Quality Tourism Framework.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
