Regional NSW campaign
New tourism campaigns for Sydney & Regional NSW

Tourism New South Wales has launched two new tourism marketing campaigns for Sydney and Regional New South Wales. These campaigns are about making sure that Sydney and Regional NSW are recognised as highly attractive places to have a holiday or short break.

Tourism NSW conducted extensive research in key international and domestic markets which suggested that Sydney’s icons were breathtaking and must-see attractions and the research participants were keen to find out more about the city and the visitor experiences on offer.
