NSW Budget Boost for Major Events

Industry groups in New South Wales have generally welcomed this week’s State Budget for the impetus it will give to tourism in Sydney and beyond. Accommodation Association of Australia CEO, Richard Munro, said the $70 million that will be invested in the NSW events calendar in 2011/12 would have direct benefits for accommodation businesses. He said it was also “pleasing to see specific funding has been allocated to market Sydney, with a priority on increasing the number of visitors from China”. Chairman of Tourism Industry Council NSW, Ken Corbett, said increased regional tourism funding was a key initiative. “Regional Tourism is experiencing challenging times with the high dollar and employment costs leading many Australians to choose an overseas holiday. “This, combined with a decrease in our more traditionally dispersed markets including the UK, Germany and USA, is making it more difficult for products in regional New South Wales,” Corbett said.
