VOTE NOW FOR THE TWEED’S MURWILLUMBAH AS 2024 NSW TOP TOURISM TOWN 

The Tweed‘s bustling art deco town of Murwillumbah has been announced as a finalist in the NSW Top Tourism Towns Awards, with public voting open now through to 13 May 2024.

The annual New South Wales Tourism Industry Council awards program selects finalists across three categories – Top Tourism Town, Small Tourism Town and Tiny Tourism Town – with winners in each category across the state to be decided by public vote. 

Finalists are selected based on a range of criteria, including provision of excellent visitor experiences, a strong commitment to encouraging tourism and increasing visitation, as well as having a focus on local collaborations to maximise the visitor economy.   

Sally Scott, General Manager of The Tweed Tourism Company, said that Murwillumbah was a worthy finalist in the Top Tourism Town category, given the quality and diversity of its unique tourism offerings and the incredible resilience and innovation of its business community. 

“We are thrilled that Murwillumbah has been recognised as a finalist in the NSW Top Tourism Town Awards and encourage everyone, whether you’re a local or love to visit Murwillumbah, to share your love of The Tweed and show it with a vote!”

“With its wide-ranging attractions and art deco appeal, Murwillumbah has continuously evolved as a community, overcoming devastating floods in recent years and creating tourism opportunities and holiday experiences that are equally embraced by locals.” 

“The heartbeat of the Tweed Valley, Murwillumbah is a town rich in history and humming with diversity and contemporary energy, where good food is served, art is around every corner and nature trails invite explorers of all ages.” 

“Our Top Tourism Town submission highlighted all the many reasons why Murwillumbah is the ultimate family holiday destination, featuring the Tweed Regional Museum and Tweed Regional Gallery, M|Arts Precinct, the Northern Rivers Rail Trail and The Imperial Hotel, to name a few.”
