win top tourism award
Three attractions at Whangārei Town Basin have won the country's top tourism award for quality and sustainability.
A Gold Qualmark has been awarded to the Hundertwasser Art Centre with Wairau Māori Art Gallery (Te Huarewa Toi Wairau Māori) and the Whangārei Art Museum in Whangārei's flourishing fine arts district.
The 2023 award is shared by the three separate, unique and distinctive world-class attractions, all located in the vibrant, picturesque Whangārei Town Basin and Marina, Andy Corson, Qualmark Tourism business adviser said.
And it puts them on a par with Hobbiton in Matamata, Te Papa New Zealand's National Museum in Wellington and the Kauri Museum in Matakohe, which have all previously won the award.
