Nitmiluk National Park won the major awards on the night along with the Jawoyn Association's Cicada Lodge but other town attractions also reaped the rewards for the advancements they are making as well.

Marksie's Stockman's Camp Tucker Night, Nitmiluk Tours and Tom Curtain's Katherine Outback Experience also won Brolgas.

Nitmiluk National Park was named the NT's best major tourist attraction.

"A timeless landscape rich in Jawoyn culture and unique natural features including ancient rock art, crystal swimming holes, tropical savannah and the majestic 13 gorge system through which the Katherine River flows," the awards ceremony was told.

Nitmiluk is now the third most visited attraction in the Territory with more than 263,000 visitors annually.

The Tourism Minister's Perpetual Trophy was won the Jawoyn Association.

"The Jawoyn's sharing of their country since it was handed back to them in 1989 is an outstanding example of local people managing their lands, protecting their culture and delivering sustainable aboriginal tourism in a way that will benefit generations to come."

The winner of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Tourism award was Nitmiluk Tours.

"One of the very few 100% Indigenous owned tourism operations in Australia, Nitmiluk Tours shares a proud and proven record of Indigenous employment and training with authentic Indigenous culture showcased through every aspect of the operation."

The Luxury Accommodation award went to Nitmiluk's Cicada Lodge.

"Cicada Lodge delivers a luxury travel experience like no other! Anticipatory service staying in elegant, quality accommodation with unique access to the majesty of Nitmiluk Gorge and a truly authentic interaction with the unique Indigenous culture."

The Brolga for Tourism Restaurants & Catering Services went to Cicada Lodge Restaurant.

"Located near the majestic deep water gorge in Nitmiluk National Park, Cicada Restaurant combines exceptional Australian food and wine experiences with world-class nature and wildlife. Visitors indulge in 5 star service on the Nabilil Dreaming Sunset Dinner Cruise against a backdrop of stunning scenic beauty."

The award for Department Trade Business Innovation Business Growth was won by the popular Marksie's Stockman's Camp Tucker Night.

"The experience is set in the tranquil surroundings of the Katherine Top Didj grounds where visitors dine by camp fire under the clear, bright sky amid Territory wildlife. In a tribute to all camp cooks visitors graze over a traditional camp oven meal cooked over a bed of hot coals flavoured with over 16 different native Australian bush herbs, spices, fruits and foods."

The Chairman's Choice for Tourism Excellence was won by Nitmiluk Tours.

"With a proud and proven record of Indigenous employment and training, authentic Indigenous culture is showcased through every aspect of Nitmiluk Tours and Cicada Lodges operations."

The award for best Tourist Attraction was won by Katherine Outback Experience.

"Owned by multiple Golden Guitar winner and horseman, Tom Curtain, Katherine Outback Experience celebrates the magic of the NT through real horse-starting and working dog demonstrations, entwined with live music and humorous bush stories. There is dust and chaos, it is raw and real, and this outdoor experience provides amazing insight into life on a working farm."
