The Queensland Tourism Awards are being held in the ballroom at Conrad Jupiter’s on Friday 13 November 2009 on the Gold Coast. Brisbane Holiday Village has entered the “Tourist and Caravan Parks” Category of the Awards, Category number 18.

Geoff Illich, Manager of Brisbane Holiday Village said, “We are accustomed to winning many Queensland and Australian Tourism Awards for Ashmore Palms, but this year it’s Brisbane Holiday Village’s turn. We are looking forward to an exciting night, with fierce competition. We’re hoping that ‘black Friday’ turns out to be ‘gold Friday’ for Brisbane Holiday Village!”

Ken Illich, Development Manager of Brisbane Holiday Village, said, “We have been working hard and smart to keep ahead of our competitors. This year we designed and installed some luxury cabins [called Vogue Cabins], with the appointments you would expect in an upmarket apartment. We have also been working on some new facilities, upgrades to existing accommodation and facilities and adopting state-of-the-art water and energy saving systems. These are just some of the improvements we have undertaken recently.”

Ken said, “The caravan park industry is evolving and our aim is to be ahead of the game. Guests are expecting more upmarket accommodation, extensive facilities and environmentally friendly business practices, and we are providing just that.”

“There seems to be a shift towards cabin accommodation throughout Australia, perhaps because caravan parks offer such extensive facilities and good value for money. Plus, there’s room for the kids to run around and the guests can save money by preparing their own meals in the self-contained holiday cabins. Caravanning is also increasingly popular,” Ken said.

Brisbane Holiday Village offers a range of self-contained holiday cabins, corporate cabins (for stays of 4 weeks or longer), tourist caravan sites, ensuite caravan sites, camp sites and camping grounds. All of Brisbane Holiday Village’s holiday and corporate cabins are well appointed and fully self-contained, with full cooking facilities, bathroom, television, air-conditioning, bedding and other features.

The Village is situated on 33 acres at 10 Holmead Road, Eight Mile Plains, a 12-minute drive south of Brisbane City. Brisbane Holiday Village is also central to hospitals, Griffith University (Mount Gravatt campus), schools, Garden City Shopping Centre, public transport and sporting venues.

The facilities on offer at Brisbane Holiday Village include a large swimming lagoon, kids\’ pool, café, convenience store, barbecues, playground, toddler playground, full size tennis court and 7-day reception. Tourist caravan sites and camp sites are also available.

Brisbane Holiday Village is an active member park of Top Tourist Parks of Australia.
