“The Qantas Australian Tourism Awards are the tourism industry’s premier awards, recognising excellence and celebrating the achievements of those who contribute to this most important industry,” Mr Souris said.
“NSW received 7 coveted Gold Awards and 9 Silver Awards from the 27 national categories, an achievement to be celebrated.”
“Tourism continues to be a leading industry in our State, contributing $20.2 billion per year in international and domestic overnight visitor expenditure to the NSW economy with tourism employment accounting for one in every 22 jobs in NSW,” Mr Souris said.
Destination NSW CEO, Sandra Chipchase, extended her congratulations to the NSW award recipients, saying the State’s performance reflected the high-quality of visitor experiences delivered in NSW.
“NSW continues to be the destination of choice for both domestic and international visitors and I’m proud to see so many NSW tourism operators recognised at a national level, for delivering exceptional visitor experiences and tourism product,” Ms Chipchase said.
