NSW PLANS FOR CAUTIOUS CHRISTMAS - CHECK RESTRICTIONS AND PREPARE QR CODES

The NSW Government has modified some restrictions regarding gatherings over Christmas for residents and visitors to the Northern Beaches, and has asked citizens to remain COVID-safe over the coming days.

For specific details regarding movement and home gatherings in the Northern Beaches and Greater Sydney, go to NSW.gov.au.

Today, Premier Gladys Berejiklian announced that, as of 1 January 2021, hospitality venues and hairdressers will be required to use the NSW Government QR code system to assist with NSW Health contact tracing. Information about setting up the QR code system is available here: NSW Government QR codes.

Decisions on New Year’s Eve and upcoming sporting events will be made after this Christmas period.

For its part, Destination NSW consults daily with its partner agencies in the NSW Government to provide the latest information to stakeholders and visitors through Insights, its Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn accounts and travel alerts on sydney.com and visitnsw.com.

It also reviews and adjusts its marketing, event and industry development programs in accordance with Public Health Orders and other advice. In the past week, for example, in response to border closures and travel restrictions, it has paused some of its domestic marketing and PR campaigns; has modified its messaging across social media channels; and has shifted the focus of some conversion programs to build awareness and encourage future travel planning.

In this final edition of Insights for 2020, Destination NSW CEO Steve Cox offers his reflections on the year that was and has a message of optimism about the year ahead.
