Paynesville's H20 Tours and Adventures has been recognised for its outstanding work by winning the Tourism Activities and Attractions category at the 25th Gippsland Business Awards last Friday night at Federation University.
With a focus on the eco-tourism market, leveraging opportunities to build and expand tourism industry business networks, developing marketing, business tools and its people, plus improved access to vessels, H2O has provided a great platform for success.
"We were very honoured to be considered as a finalist in the Gippsland Business Awards tourism category for 2023 together with The Winter Festival and Metung Hot Springs," H20 owner Rob Ashworth said.
"I think everyone would agree we don't start businesses to gain awards but it is fantastic to be recognised for all the hard work.
"It is a great privilege to receive this award for our marine tourism business which is family run by Jodie, my long suffering boat widow, Jen our daughter and senior master on the boats, casual crew and myself.
