DESTINATION NSW CELEBRATES NAIDOC WEEK

The Destination NSW team has been celebrating and recognising the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples during NAIDOC Week.

Activities have included an Aboriginal weaving workshop, a bush tucker tour at the Royal Botanical Garden Sydney and an Aboriginal History guided visit at the Art Gallery of NSW.

Destination NSW also supported a range of stakeholder activities for NAIDOC Week, including Sydney BridgeClimb's Burrawa Climb on the week that also marks the one-year anniversary of the Aboriginal flag flying permanently at the summit of the iconic landmark.

Destination NSW Product Manager, Aboriginal Experiences Sarah Allen said: "It has been great to hear that Aboriginal tourism businesses are booked out over NAIDOC Week. There is a rising interest in Aboriginal culture and tourism offerings around the state, not only is it exciting for the businesses, it’s also great for the NSW visitor economy and sustainability of the industry."
