2021 Best Tourist Attraction award


The National Arboretum Canberra is proud to be announced as the winner of best Tourist Attraction at the 2021 Canberra Region Tourism Awards.

Canberra’s best in tourism were honoured in what was the first ever virtual Canberra Region Tourism Awards on 4 February 2022.

We would like to thank the organisers, judges and sponsors of the awards, and congratulate the other award-winning members of our tourism industry as together we showcase Canberra as a top tourist destination.

We would also like to acknowledge the Friends of the Arboretum, dedicated volunteers, on site partners and visitors that make the National Arboretum Canberra what it is today.

“This is a huge achievement for such a young institution and we are very proud to be receiving the Tourist Attraction award for the 2021 Canberra Region Tourism Awards. We have a small but diverse team that strives for excellence every day. This would not be possible without the support of our stakeholders, tourists and the local community, we thank each and every one of you.”
