From 4 to 6 September competitors, officials and supporters will travel, stay and play in the region, with the championships set to deliver meaningful benefits for local accommodation providers, hospitality venues and retailers and inject new energy into the Bundaberg visitor economy.
The event is made possible through a partnership between Table Tennis Queensland, Bundaberg Regional Council and Sports Marketing Australia and is part of Council’s ongoing support for major sporting events in the region.
Table Tennis Queensland CEO Brady Walmsley said the strength of the collaboration was due to the quality of the venue and the commitment of all partners working together to deliver a seamless experience for competitors and spectators alike.
