Proving once again that they are Australia's leading holiday park provider, seven BIG4 Holiday Parks have taken out gold in their respective state or territory in the Tourist and Caravan Parks category of the 2014 State Tourism Awards.

Each year, the State Tourism Awards acknowledge the 'best of the best', celebrating the tourism providers who have gone over and above in providing outstanding service and experiences, and achieved fantastic results in the past year.

The following BIG4 Holidays Parks beat the tough competition to be named the 'Top Tourist and Caravan Park' in their state or territory:

• BIG4 Deniliquin Holiday Park (NSW)
• BIG4 Renmark Riverfront Holiday Park (SA)
• BIG4 St Helens Holiday Park (TAS)
• BIG4 Cairns Coconut Holiday Resort (QLD)
• BIG4 Peppermint Park (WA)
• BIG4 MacDonnell Range Holiday Park (NT)
• BIG4 Beacon Resort (VIC)

BIG4 Holiday Parks CEO, Steven Wright, said the amazing results achieved by the seven BIG4 Holiday Parks is a testament to the hardworking teams at the parks.

“I'm extremely proud of all of our winning BIG4 Holiday Parks. These awards are a fantastic recognition of their unwavering commitment to provide each and every guest with excellent customer service, quality accommodation and park facilities, while also delivering a unique and memorable holiday experience,” said Steven.

The seven parks will now face off against each other at the Australian Tourism Awards announced next year, where they will vie to be named Australia's best Tourist and Caravan Park.
