Chamber Breakfast on 30th October, 2024

We are delighted to welcome Rebecca Greenshields from Whalesong Cruises as our guest speaker for our 30 October 2024 Hervey Bay Chamber of Commerce breakfast.

With the 2024 whale watching season coming to a close, Hervey Bay has once again proven why it holds the title of the world’s first Whale Heritage Area and carries the crown as the Whale Watch Capital of the World. Each year, tens of thousands of humpback whales migrate along the Queensland coast, and the protected waters of Hervey Bay offer a vital resting spot for Whales to use the calm waters of the Bay to rest and nurse their new-born calves as they make their return trip to Antarctica.

This year, visitors to, and residents of, the Fraser Coast have experienced many amazing interactions with these mighty creatures, reinforcing the regions status as Australia’s top whale-watching destination. From awe-inspiring breaches to mother-and-calf interactions, the Bay provides an experience unmatched anywhere else in Australia.

Rebecca Greenshields will discuss the highlights of this season and share the innovative steps being taken to ensure that whale watching in Hervey Bay continues to thrive and that our commitment to sustainable tourism ensures that whale watching will remain a key attraction, drawing visitors from around the globe.

From new tourism offerings to community engagement, the future of whale watching on the Fraser Coast has a bright outlook and the industry is an economic powerhouse for businesses in our region. Find out more about this amazing industry - join us for breakfast on the 30^th October 2024.
