Outstanding Young Tourism Business Leader – Tiga Cross, Coffs Coast Wildlife Sanctuary
Tiga was a long term environmental scientist at the Dolphin Marine Conservation Park and Pet Porpoise Pool. After 50 years of operation the business was going undeer when Tiga decided to put everything on the line and save and reposition the park with a greater focus on animal protection and native animals.
Tiga literally morttgaged her house not long after giving birth to her first child to take over the park and turn it into a not-for-profit organisation. A truly inspiring story.
