Tour Hosts win National Awards
The team at Tour Hosts has taken out two major awards from the peak body for the meetings sector, Meetings & Events Australia.
Tour Hosts Founder and Managing Director Roslyn McLeod was on hand to accept the awards on behalf of the company at the National Awards Gala Dinner at Wrest Point Hotel Casino which capped off the National Conference of MEA in Hobart.

The MEA Awards are the premier accolade of best industry management practice and outstanding performance in the Australian meetings and events industry and are highly sought after and celebrated.
The awards covered the National Award for Meeting of the Year - More than 500 delegates and the National Award for Meetings Management - 8 or more employees.
The National Award for Meeting of the Year - More than 500 delegates was a joint submission with the Alice Springs Convention Centre (ASCC) and the Northern Territory Convention Bureau (NTCB) for the International Symposium on Pneumococci and Pneumococcal Diseases held on 2-6 April 2006 at the Alice Springs Convention Centre. Alice Springs was chosen as a location for this meeting as Aboriginal children in Central Australia experience the highest reported rate of invasive Pneumococcal disease. This is a disease that largely affects children in remote communities and is believed to result in the deaths of over a million children per year worldwide.
The National Award for Meetings Management - 8 or more employees recognises the company which performed the best in running a 'meetings management' organisation. This is the first time Tour Hosts has received this particular award and it now completes our set!
"Our clients' meetings are often years in the making and we're delighted to receive these awards on behalf of everyone involved in the planning and management of these events. It's a collaboration on the part the organising committees, our suppliers, the venues and the people right across our company," said Roslyn McLeod.
