Supported by Destination NSW, the Awards celebrate and acknowledge tourism excellence and are managed by the Tourism Industry division of the NSW Business Chamber.
Destination NSW Chief Executive Officer Sandra Chipchase said Destination NSW is proud to support the NSW Tourism Awards.
“Awards such as these provide a valuable platform to encourage businesses to consistently strive for excellence in their respective fields and last night was a wonderful testament to the ongoing strength of the NSW tourism industry,” Ms Chipchase said.
Twenty-eight award winners were announced in a range of categories including Major Tourist Attractions, Festivals and Events, Destination Marketing and Accommodation.
With more than 110 finalists in 2016, each winner was selected by an independent judging panel for their exceptional contribution to the NSW tourism industry.
Five winners were inducted into the NSW Tourism Awards Hall of Fame:
Chateau Elan at The Vintage, AAT Kings NSW, Big4 Deniliquin Holiday Park, Taronga Western Plains Zoo and Margan Wines & Restaurant who took out top honours in their respective categories for the third year in a row.
NSW Minister for Trade, Tourism and Major Events Stuart Ayres said the NSW Tourism Awards highlight how the State’s finest tourism operators continue to attract people to stay, play and enjoy areas across the state.
“This year’s NSW Tourism Award winners represent individuals and businesses whose commitment to excellence continues to make NSW the number one destination to visit in Australia,” Mr Ayres said.
