Nationals Member for Northern Victoria Jade Benham has thrown her support behind Mildura vying for the 2023 Victorian Top Tourism Town Awards tonight.
Seventeen towns across Victoria are finalists, including Mildura.
“These awards showcase some of the great destinations on offer in Northern Victoria,” Ms Benham said.
“Mildura showcases the most diverse array of food, culture, and sense of community in regional Victoria.
“We have so many wonderful towns that offer tremendous visitor experiences, and I encourage everyone to take the time out and enjoy exploring regional Victoria and support local businesses.
“Mildura is home to some of the worlds leading food and fiber producers, stunning lakes and rivers, and amazing food and wine.”
“I would like to wish all the finalists the very best of luck,” Ms Benham said.
“All of them would be very worthy winners.”
The annual awards recognise and reward Victorian towns that create an amazing experience for visitors. They focus on a team effort from local businesses, tourism operators and the local community.
The awards are run by the Victorian Tourism Industry Council. Members of the public also had the chance to vote for their favourite town.
The awards will be announced at a function in Sorrento tonight.
The winners have the chance to represent Victoria at the Australian Top Tourism Town Awards later in the year.
