Sydney Takes Top Tourism Honour

Sydney has been named Oceania’s Leading City Destination at the World Travel Awards Asia & Oceania, reinforcing the Australian harbour city’s position as one of the region’s most attractive destinations for international and domestic travellers.

The prestigious recognition highlights Sydney’s combination of world-famous landmarks, spectacular harbour scenery, beaches, culture, dining, entertainment and major events.

From the Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge to its coastal walks, historic neighbourhoods and vibrant restaurant scene, Sydney continues to offer visitors an impressive choice of experiences throughout the year.

Sydney’s World-Class Hotels Also Recognised

Sydney’s success extended beyond the city destination category, with two of its leading hotels receiving major Oceania awards.

Park Hyatt Sydney was named Oceania’s Leading Hotel, recognising the property’s luxury accommodation and exceptional position overlooking Sydney Harbour.

Hyatt Regency Sydney was named Oceania’s Leading Business Hotel, highlighting Sydney’s strength as a destination for business travellers, conferences, meetings and corporate events.

The hotel awards add further recognition to Sydney’s reputation as a destination capable of combining leisure travel with a sophisticated business events offering.

Why Sydney Continues to Attract Travellers

Sydney's appeal lies in the diversity of experiences available within a relatively compact destination.

Visitors can begin their day exploring the harbour before enjoying a coastal walk, relaxing on one of the city's famous beaches or discovering galleries, museums and historic precincts.

The city's dining scene provides another major attraction, with restaurants and cafes offering Australian produce alongside cuisines reflecting Sydney's multicultural population.

Sydney is also a gateway to experiences beyond the city centre, including the Blue Mountains, Hunter Valley, Central Coast and other destinations across New South Wales.

For international visitors, Sydney provides an introduction to Australia that combines iconic sights with opportunities to experience contemporary Australian culture and the natural environment.

A Leading Destination for Business and Events

Sydney's recognition as a leading city destination is particularly significant for the business events sector.

With international air connections, major convention facilities, luxury and business hotels, restaurants, cultural attractions and unique event venues, Sydney is well positioned to host conferences, incentive groups, exhibitions and corporate events.

The recognition for Hyatt Regency Sydney as Oceania's Leading Business Hotel further demonstrates the city's strength in attracting business travellers and events.
