Frankston shines in 2023 Victorian Top Tourism Town Awards

Published on 01 June 2023

Our beautiful City is again in the limelight after being named as one of 17 towns across Victoria vying for the prestigious accolade with public voting now open until Thursday, 22 June 6pm.

The Top Tourism Town Awards celebrate Victorian towns that demonstrate a strong commitment to and encourage tourism, offer an excellent visitor experience, and collaborate with businesses and the community to make their town the best destination it can be.

Mayor Nathan Conroy said Frankston was going from strength to strength after being recognised as a finalist in the Top Tourism Town Awards for 2021 and winning Bronze at the 2022 Awards.

“I’m confident we’ll take another step forward at this year’s Awards – there’s a renewed energy and vibrancy with new businesses setting up in our CBD and our arts and tourism sector is nationally recognised.

“Frankston City’s enviable and beautiful blend of city, bush and bay and the unique lifestyle experience which this creates has long been celebrated by locals and visitors – now it’s being acknowledged on the main stage.

“We’re well on the way to becoming one of Melbourne’s most exciting precincts and the capital of the South East. Our street art tours are recognised nationally and there’s no limit to Frankston’s potential,” the Mayor said.

The winner is selected via the city’s awards submission and a public vote. Mayor Conroy urged our community, visitors, those who work here and everyone who loves Frankston, to share the love, get behind us and vote for Frankston.

“Being named again as a finalist in the Victorian Top Tourism Town Awards is a massive achievement and recognises the course we’re heading with our street art and other magnificent attractions,” he said.
