$2.5 MILLION BOOST FOR NSW TOURISM PROJECTS

The NSW Government is investing $2.5 million to bolster the tourism sector across the State to ensure the continued recovery of the visitor economy.

Wildlife encounters, food and wine activities as well as wellness retreats are among 18 projects that will receive grants of between $80,000 and $150,000 via the Experience Development Fund.

Minister for Tourism Ben Franklin said the grants would turbocharge visitation to Greater Sydney and regional NSW.

“The NSW visitor economy is bursting back to life, and we know from visits to Destination NSW websites and top NSW search terms online that all points of the State’s compass are on the radar of travellers,” Mr Franklin said.

“We are passionate about creating opportunities for businesses to attract these travellers by driving demand from new and returning visitors as the State forges ahead on its path to recovery.

“Supporting local tourism businesses is a top priority and this funding will ensure our tourism operators deliver the best possible visitor experiences.”

Projects that have been funded include:

  • $150,000 for Symbio Wildlife Park in Helensburgh to develop an eco-friendly Little Penguin Experience.
