Tourism Whitsundays appoints new board

TOURISM Whitsundays has welcomed three new board members to its team for the 2021/22 period following an AGM held late last week.

InterContinental Hayman Island Resort GM Arpad Romandy, Coral Sea Marina Resort GM Kate Purdie and BIG4 Adventure Whitsunday Resort owner Greg McKinnon have all joined the executive team, while Trevor Rees from Whitsunday Escape and Craig Turner have both been reelected for another term.

The goal of the body over the next 12 months will be to restore overnight expenditure to better than pre-Tropical Cyclone Debbie and COVID-19 figures of $850 million, and get total visitation to more than one million.
