FACET is extremely proud to have developed the FACET Golden Guide Award to recognise and celebrate best practise tour guiding.  The Award became part of the WA Tourism Awards in 1999 and up until now, Western Australia has been the only State to acknowledge outstanding tour guides and the important role they play in tourism.  Big congratulations to Marielle Sengers, Travel Western Australia who was awarded the 2019 FACET Golden Guide Award.

Following a decision by the Australian Tourism Industry Council (ATIC), FACET is pleased to announce the introduction of a tour guiding category into the Australian Tourism Awards program.

This will mean that each state winner will become a national finalist, competing for the title of Australia's Top Tour Guide.  The winner will be announced at a formal event in Canberra each year.  Former FACET Golden Guide Award recipients are welcome to enter again and vie for a national award.

The program for 2020 is currently being reviewed.  For updates on the 2020 Perth Airport WA Tourism Awards .
