Visitor Economy in NSW

Last reviewed: 9 November 2026. Programs, tenders, project timing and eligibility can change. Confirm all details with the responsible government agency before acting.

The visitor economy links accommodation, hospitality, attractions, events, transport, retail and regional experiences.

Where capability may be relevant

  • Nature, culture and event experiences
  • Accommodation and hospitality supply
  • Accessible and inclusive visitor services
  • Digital distribution and regional itineraries

Commercial and compliance questions

  • Which customer has a funded need and how is it purchased?
  • What licences, standards, insurance, safety or environmental controls apply?
  • Can the workforce, equipment, premises and working capital support delivery?
  • How exposed is the plan to one project, customer, commodity or policy setting?
  • What evidence supports price, demand and competitive advantage?

Build the opportunity case

Map the customer, procurement route, required capability, partners and delivery economics. Confirm project status and official requirements before investing. Government strategy can identify direction, but it does not guarantee demand, funding or a contract.
