The Minns Labor Government is rolling out a new \u2018Find Your Path on a NSW Great Walk\u2019 campaign that highlights seven spectacular multi-day walks across the state to address the growing interest in nature-based visitor experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The new campaign highlights an impressive 275km of walking tracks in regional NSW that have opened to the public within the last two years. The walks showcase some of the state\u2019s most breathtaking and diverse landscapes, from pristine coastline to ancient rainforest and alpine peaks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kicking off, on the 8 June 2025, the \u2018Find Your Path on a NSW Great Walk\u2019 campaign will target both experienced hikers and aspirational entry-level multi-day walkers offering self-guided and guided options, as well as camping and accommodation choices for overnight stays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The campaign encourages visitors to explore multi-day walks including Snowies Alpine Walk (Snowy Mountains), Gidjuum Gulganyi Walk (Tweed\/Byron Hinterland), Light to Light (Sapphire Coast), Murramarang South Coast Walk, Tomaree Coastal Walk (Port Stephens), Grand Cliff Top Walk (Blue Mountains) and Green Gully Track (Northern Tablelands).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 2024, 9.9 million international and domestic visitors to NSW visited a national park or state park and spent more than $11.7 billion across the state during their trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Recent NPWS data shows that 23.7 million visits included a walk of up to or more than half a day. With the completion and promotion of these new Great Walks those numbers are set to climb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
