Spanning 32 categories including Major Festivals and Events, Adventure Tourism, Heritage and Cultural Tourism and Business Tourism, the NSW Tourism Awards celebrate the diverse and significant achievements of tourism operators, who collectively contribute billions of dollars to the state’s economy.

The Awards are a major program of the Tourism Industry Council NSW and are supported by Destination NSW.

The Minister for Tourism and Major Events, George Souris, whilst congratulating the winners, spoke of the key role the tourism industry plays in NSW’s economy.

“Tourism currently contributes more than $50,000 every minute to the NSW economy, reflecting an increase of over 6% since 2011. Tourism is the lifeblood of many of our State’s regional towns, and we are committed to promoting tourism in the regions, as well as supporting events that create local jobs, providing a boost to regional economies even further,” said Minister Souris.

Mollymook Milton Ulladulla’s sole finalist was Mollymook Beach Waterfront who was awarded silver in the Hosted Accommodation category. Gold went to Honeycomb Valley Farm – Farmstay on the NSW North Coast and bronze was awarded to Crystal Creek Meadows of Kangaroo Valley.
