Visit Mandurah is calling for votes from residents to help the city take out the GWN7 Top Tourism Town Award.
Mandurah is one of seven destinations vying for the top spot. The award recognises and rewards towns in Western Australia that demonstrate a strong commitment to encouraging tourism and increasing visitation to the destination.
Visit Mandurah general manager Anita Kane said as the tourism industry recovers from the pandemic now was the time to showcase Mandurah.
"In Mandurah, we are relaxed by nature. Set against a backdrop of magnificent beaches and an estuary twice the size of Sydney Harbour, it's impossible not to fall in love with this place," she said.
"We want to see Mandurah get the recognition it deserves, and we need votes to make this happen.
"As we look towards 2022, we want to extend Mandurah's reputation as a much-loved holiday destination. The Top Tourism Town Awards help us do this so please vote by May 24."
