Well tomorrow Geoffrey and I are travelling to Narrabri (about 2 1/2" hours drive) to attend the Awards Presentation Dinner for the Northern Inland Innovation Business Awards - I was lucky enough to be nominated in the Tourism and Leisure category - and now I am one of 3 finalise in this section. It is a real honour to be nominated and very exciting to be part the presentation dinner.
If you jump over to www.niia.com.au you can read alittle more about the awards - I have copied some of the critiera for my section, and the explanation of Innovation - The support and encouragement from customers over the past week or so has been amazing - I will be back sometime later in the weekend to let you all know how I went with the judging.
Innovation is the application of creative thinking to initiate or introduce improvements in a skill, product, methodology or process.
The innovation must be:
- Unique to or developed in the Northern region
- Better than the status quo
- Sustainable in all applications
- Have a viable outcome
Recognises the benefits this present and growing industry plays in the Northern region economy. Nominees may be from any tourism/hospitality/leisure business and consideration will be given to unique and innovative practices and the benefits the enterprise or activity brings to the region.
Fingers crossed
xxxxx Kerry
