Lea continues to work with Australian Tourism Export Council to complete the Trade Ready program in opening business to welcome visitors from all around the world,
The Trade Ready training instructs on how to engage with the Chinese, Indian, Japanese and other overseas destinations. 
Being Trade Ready has involved attending Australian Tourism Exchange in Melbourne during June to meet with agents from across the globe, at a 4 day conference. This enables The Boathouse Apartments to connect with agents, wholesalers and tour operators from various countries to improve occupancy and business in the future. 

The ATEC ‘Tourism Trade Ready’ program provides the Australian tourism industry with the fundamental learning, skills and essential resources required to trade effectively with the domestic and international marketplace.

Australian tourism operators receive a comprehensive introduction to the mechanics of working within the tourism marketplace and will achieve an understanding of the necessary factors required to deliver tourism excellence.

The gardens throughout the property are already lush but we are working with the gardening team to replenish garden species and freshen up the beautiful garden areas.&nbsp;&nbsp;We love the region and taking care of it for all to enjoy is a focus and consideration for our business. We have introduced a recycling program to reduce the environmental impact of the rubbish that we create. We are involved with EcoBiz coaching and The Whitsundays Healthy Heart Project to monitor and reduce our carbon footprint. We proudly collect and recycle containers for change and invest in the local community by sponsorship to local clubs and events.

A family owned and operated business, we all enjoy getting involved with the various roles of caretaking and managing this wonderful property. Ross, a qualified builder works hard to ensure that every apartment is cared for like it was his own. Lea's role is predominately in the office but she enjoys getting out and about to meet guests and inspect the apartments. Mason can be found after school in Reception, while Ryan is on hand when needed; usually keeping an eye on the swimming pool or tennis court.Ross, Lea, Mason and Ryan moved to Airlie Beach post Covid and lock downs in Victoria, looking for a sea change. We have been welcomed to the beautiful community of Airlie Beach getting involved in the AFL club and enjoying the many restaurants and cocktail bars in our great town. Our family enjoys the warmer weather year round and we love getting out on the water fishing and skiing.&nbsp;We are proud sponsors of the Whitsunday Sea Eagles AFL Club, Golden Rivers Umpires,&nbsp;St Catherine's Catholic College QISSN team and Reef and Music Festivals. Community is an important part of our family life and contributing to create strong and healthy clubs is integral for our business model and desire to build a strong community connection.&nbsp;We thoroughly enjoy living and working in the beautiful region of The Whitsundays and encourage you to explore everything that our great town and region has to offer.
