Millions of extra airline seats, tens of thousands of hotel rooms and a focus on experience-led tourism will transform the NSW visitor economy into a $91 billion powerhouse as set out in a government review of the NSW Visitor Economy Strategy.
The NSW Government will adopt a more ambitious goal of $91 billion in annual visitor economy expenditure by 2035 – a 40% increase on the previous goal. The accelerated growth is expected to provide a big economic windfall for regional communities, with $44 billion (48%) of the $91 billion expected to be spent in regional NSW.
This ambitious growth trajectory will further cement tourism as a critical pillar of future growth in the NSW economy, driving up to 150,000 new jobs by 2035.
