The Whitsundays, in the heart of the Great Barrier Reef, is the jewel in the tourism crown of Australia. With 74 or more islands just 15 kilometres off shore and reefs of the Great Barrier a further 20 km, no other destination in Australia can boast the natural beauty or diversity of this island paradise. Protected above and below the water by the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority in consultation with traditional owners, the Ngaro People, just a handful of islands feature a range of resorts to suite every budget.

On the mainland is the tourist town of Airlie Beach. This small township is focal point of Skal Whitsundays, where active Tourism business owners and managers are involved in the development of tourism assets, networks and the success of the region.
