NSW ATTRACTS MORE VISITORS THAN ANY OTHER STATE

NSW

NSW continues to attract more domestic visitors than any other state or territory in Australia, according to the latest National Visitor Survey (NVS). Minister for Trade, Tourism and Major Events, Stuart Ayres said, “In the year ending March 2015, NSW welcomed more than 27 million visitors who stayed 88 million nights and contributed close to $16 billion to the State’s visitor economy, representing the highest level of domestic overnight expenditure since the year ended March 1999.”

“The NSW Government’s tourism and major events agency Destination NSW continues to work alongside the NSW tourism industry, contributing to the goal of doubling overnight expenditure by 2020, and these outstanding results reflect this,” Mr Ayres added.

“The latest NVS figures reaffirm our position as the number one tourism and major events destination in Australia,” Mr Ayres said.
