New funding available for unique and high impact visitor experiences

The NSW Government’s Regional Tourism Activation Fund supports the development of unique and high impact tourism and events infrastructure that helps to boost local economies, create jobs and ensure visitors to regional NSW have unforgettable experiences that encourage repeat visitation.

The $30 million Regional Tourism Activation Fund aims to strengthen tourism in regional NSW by delivering new or upgraded tourism infrastructure as well as improving accessibility, inclusion and the visitor experience for people with disability.

Under this new funding there are two streams available:

• Stream One – Unique and high impact visitor experiences: Grants between $200,000 and $5 million are available for projects that create unique and high impact visitor experiences for people visiting regional NSW and encourage more people to plan and book holidays in regional areas.
   
• Stream Two – Visitor accessibility and inclusion enhancements: Grants between $50,000 and $500,000 are available for projects that improve accessibility and inclusion at unique and high impact tourism destinations and visitor experiences.

Applications are NOW OPEN and close on 11 August 2021.
