Winning Tourism Northern Territory's 'Adventure Tourism' Award in 2023
Blog home / Winning our 5th Northern Territory Tourism Brolga Award
Australian Walking Holidays has again claimed the coveted Brolga Award for 'Adventure Travel' for our renowned Larapinta Trail program.
The win marks our FIFTH Brolga Award and second consecutive win in the 'Adventure Travel' category. Our Larapinta Trail program, including the award-winning Classic Larapinta Trek In-Comfort, consistently sets the benchmark for industry excellence.
The Brolga Awards are the Northern Territory’s official tourism awards program and recognise and encourage tourism businesses that strive for excellence in every area of their operation.
We've secured three awards in the 'Eco-Tourism' category in 2016, 2017 and 2019, in addition to the 'Adventure Travel' accolade in 2022, and now again in 2023.
I am thrilled that our combined efforts to deliver tours of the highest standards have been recognised with this award – our fifth Brolga to date. This is a huge achievement by everyone involved in Australian Walking Holidays, especially given the sheer number of adventure tourism operators in the NT. I extend my congratulations to our very hardworking team for their consistent dedication to delivering outstanding adventure travel experiences.
- Michael Buggy, General Manager of Australian Walking Holidays
The ‘Adventure Tourism’ Brolga Award acknowledges our entire Larapinta Trail program, which incorporates exclusive Eco-Comfort Camps, indigenous-focused activities and treks guided by experts.
We offer trips in every State and Territory except the ACT, and are Australia’s most experienced operator of high-quality, small-group walking holidays. These exclusive itineraries are not only known for adventure, but also for being 100% carbon offset. Since pioneering walking tours on the Larapinta Trail in 1995, we've been continuously refining and enhancing our offerings. Our Larapinta Trail walks have become synonymous with a commitment to responsible tourism practices and supporting local communities.
As we head into our 28th year on the Larapinta Trail, we remain humbled by the acknowledgment of our peers.
