Q STATION'S PEACE PARK SYMBOLISES COMMITMENT TO RESPECTFUL TOURISM IN MANLY

Q Station dedicated a section of land as a Peace Park with James Griffin MP, Skal International and the International Institute of Peace through Tourism (IIPT) on Wednesday 22nd May 2019.

The dedication service was a momentous occasion with speeches from James Griffin MP, the Presidents of IIPT and Skal as well as Q Station’s own history tour guide Deb Randell. The opening ceremony was followed by a long lunch at the Boilerhouse Kitchen & Bar​.

Skal and IIPT each recognise that tourism can be a vital force in nurturing a peaceful world and have a goal to dedicate 2,000 Peace Parks around the world. Peace Parks symbolise that the surrounding organisation and community are actively committed to promoting values of tolerance, non-violence, gender equality, human rights, youth empowerment, environmental integrity and sustainable human, social and economic development.

Q Station was chosen as the location for Manly’s Peace Park because of its historic significance to the area. Operating as a Quarantine Station from 1828 – 1984, the site on North Head saw over 23,000 migrants interned as they made their way to making Australia home. The diverse range of cultures that were brought to Australia in this time have shaped our national identity and world view to become more accepting of one another and to strive for world peace.

Modern day Q Station offers guests the chance to experience a unique holiday destination in a significant national heritage site, enjoying stylish modern accommodation in serene, relaxing yet reinvigorating surroundings. Q Station has created a contemporary fit-out by adapting 65 historically listed buildings to deliver a 4 star property that balances the demands of conservation, sustainability and comfort. To demonstrate the property at its best, Q Station offers guests a range of historical, cultural, natural and paranormal tours to share the heritage of the site, and a range of seasonal packages encompassing accommodation, dining and tours.

Skal International is an association for tourism professionals which encourages collaboration to create new opportunities for the advancement of the industry.

Q Station encourages all guests and day visitors to enjoy the space of the Peace Park and its bench overlooking Quarantine Beach while thinking on their responsibility to journey with an open mind, accept diversity, protect the natural environment, appreciate all cultures, thank their hosts, offer a hand in friendship and encourage others to travel the world in peace.
