Griffith in the Spotlight
GRIFFITH NAMED IN WOTIF’S TOP TEN AUSSIE TOWN OF THE YEAR AWARDS
The Wotif Aussie Town of the Year Awards recognises 10 deserving locations across the country for their contribution to Australian tourism. Designed to celebrate the many Australian cities, towns and regions worthy of the spotlight, the awards provide travellers with inspiration on where to travel in Australia in 2024.
The winner and finalists are determined based on a Wotif data index that looks at accommodation affordability, quality, and traveller satisfaction.
We may not have mountains or the sea but we do have the friendliest people, a rich blend of cultures and traditions, an abundance of world-class local food and wine producers, passionate chefs, and many festivals held throughout the year, which all contribute to the local charm and hospitality felt while in our region.
Griffith Mayor, Councillor Doug Curran welcomed the announcement
“Being named in the Top Ten WOTIF Aussie Towns of the Year Awards for 2024 is such an honour for a regional city of our size – we are absolutely stoked!… We all know how great Griffith is, we get to experience the many unique and authentic offerings every single day, but to be recognised as such is extremely satisfying; It really cements our position as a destination of choice.”
Griffith has been named among the TOP TEN places to visit in Australia, ranking number seven in
the Wotif 2024 Aussie Town of the Year Awards.
The winner and finalists are determined based on a Wotif data index that looks at accommodation
affordability, quality, and traveller satisfaction.
Bendigo, VIC claimed the top spot followed by Broken Hill, NSW and Stanthorpe, QLD rounding
out the top three.Wotif Travel Expert, Sarah King, said, “Aussie travellers are driven by a curiosity to experience the
world around them and it’s fantastic to see that pursuit of discovery leading many to find culture
close to home. As one in five (20%) Aussies are planning a trip during the upcoming Easter long
weekend and over half (56%) plan on taking advantage of school holidays for local getaways,
these awards provide the ultimate inspiration for those planning their travels for the year ahead.”
