Boosting NSW Tourism

The NSW Government will invest more than $8 million in a suite of grant programs to accelerate the recovery of the NSW visitor economy as the state reopens to visitors.

Member for Goulburn Wendy Tuckerman endorsed the funding, saying “More than ever, our visitor economy needs support to build on the potential of the tourism offering in our region.

“Our tourism operators have been dealt consecutive years of hardship, so I am delighted this funding is being made available by the NSW Government to help them capitalise on the resilience they’ve and get them back operating at the level we know they can.”

Minister for Jobs, Investment, Tourism and Western Sydney and Minister for Trade and Industry Stuart Ayres said “This funding will create jobs, enhance the visitor experience, support the return of lifestyle and business events in regional NSW and promote our regions as ‘must-visit’ destinations, generating hundreds of millions in visitor expenditure.

“Whether it’s to upgrade the standard of accommodation, develop an entirely new visitor experience, stage conferences and regional events, or deliver a compelling destination marketing campaign, these grants will ensure NSW is top-of-mind for all types of visitors.

“Supporting our tourism operators is a top priority. They are the backbone of the visitor economy – their passion and resilience and incredible diversity of offerings are key to the state’s success.”
