The Perrottet 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.
\nMinister for Jobs, Investment, Tourism and Western Sydney and Minister for Trade and Industry Stuart Ayres said the funding would be a significant boost to the visitor economy as travel restrictions lifted.
\n\u201cThis funding will create jobs, enhance the visitor experience, support the return of lifestyle and business events in regional NSW and promote our regions as \u2018must-visit\u2019 destinations, generating hundreds of millions in visitor expenditure,\u201d Mr Ayres said.
\n\u201cThese grants are all about assisting NSW tourism operators and event organisers to develop and deliver the best possible visitor experiences and ensure we are the number one state to visit as we reopen to the world post COVID-19.
\n\u201cWhether it\u2019s 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 remains top-of-mind for all types of visitors.
\n\u201cSupporting our tourism operators is a top priority. They are the backbone of the visitor economy \u2013 their passion and resilience and incredible diversity of offerings are key to the state\u2019s success.\u201d
