Minister for Tourism Stuart Ayres said the campaign, which was launched this week encourages Sydney-siders to plan a visit, as well as those who live two to four hours’ drive from Maitland.
“The NSW Government, through its tourism and major events agency Destination NSW, is proud to contribute $100,000 to the Make it Maitland campaign, which will be matched dollar for dollar by Maitland City Council,” Mr Ayres said.
“Maitland charms visitors of all ages with its intriguing heritage, food festivals, delicious eateries and bustling markets.
“Maitland is also home to eclectic regional events like the Aroma Coffee and Chocolate Festival, Riverlights Multicultural Festival, and Bitter and Twisted Festival.
“Being within such easy reach of Sydney makes Maitland a perfect weekend getaway and, for those living further afield, Newcastle Airport is only 25km from the city centre and offers direct flights to and from east coast cities and Adelaide.”
The campaign is funded through the State Government’s Regional Tourism Fund.
