RECORD ATTENDANCE AT VIVID SYDNEY 2017

Vivid Sydney 2017

Vivid Sydney 2017 has set a new record with 2.33 million people attending this year’s festival and contributing over $143 million to the State’s economy.

NSW Minister for Tourism and Major Events Adam Marshall said the festival’s value didn’t stop in Sydney, with rural and regional NSW also benefiting from the record numbers.

“We’ve also seen a record 38,000 visitors travel beyond the fringes of Sydney, staying more than 94,000 nights and injecting over $16 million into rural and regional local economies,” Mr Marshall said.

“Sydney is not only the gateway to Australia, it is the gateway to rural and regional NSW, and I am thrilled that the whole state is reaping the benefits of the NSW Government’s significant investment in tourism and major events.”
