The Hon. Stirling Hinchliffe MP

Welcome to Airlie Beach Race Week, a highlight on the It’s Live in Queensland events calendar and a wonderful opportunity to showcase The Whitsundays as a tourism destination.

The Airlie Beach community is grateful to welcome visitors who fill their cafes and restaurants, stay in their accommodation, use local transport and explore our unique tourism experiences.

That’s why we support events through Tourism and Events Queensland’s Destination Events Program because they bring a welcomed boost to the local community and supports local jobs.

Events like the Airlie Beach Race Week allows friends and family to reconnect and creates community pride. We hope you enjoy your stay and return again in the near future.

Be sure to immerse yourself in the local culture and get the opportunity to explore some of our world-class tourism experiences in this beautiful region.

Congratulations to the event organisers and volunteers – we wish you all the best for a successful event.
