NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian has invited the largest ever Japanese travel trade delegation to visit Vivid Sydney 2018, in a bid to build on the record number of tourists who took part in this year’s festival.

Ms Berejiklian made the announcement in Tokyo this week at the global launch of the Vivid Sydney 2018 dates.

“We are seeing a resurgence of Japanese visitors to our shores and we want to see that grow even further,” Ms Berejiklian said.

“Not only is this great for forging closer ties with Japan but more tourists coming to NSW is vitally important for our local economy.”

Vivid Sydney 2018 will be held from
25 May to 16 June.
