2017 NSW Tourism Awards Finalists Announced
The exceptional quality of tourism operators across NSW were acknowledged with the official announcement of finalists for the 2017 NSW Tourism Awards.
Managed by the Tourism Industry division of the NSW Business Chamber and supported by the NSW Government via Destination NSW, the NSW Tourism Awards celebrate and acknowledge tourism businesses that demonstrate outstanding achievement throughout the year.
Executive Manager, Tourism Industry Division, NSW Business Chamber, Dean Gorddard said “Success in the Tourism Awards doesn’t depend on whether an operator is big or small. It depends on their vision, achieving their business goals and, as a result, the excellent way their tourism product or service is finally delivered. Congratulations to all the finalists for articulating their business and story so well.”
In 2017, there are 100 finalists across 26 categories recognising excellence from a range of tourism areas such as Tourist Attractions, Festival and Events, Ecotourism, Destination Marketing, Accommodation, Tourism Education and Training.
Now in its 28th year, the NSW Tourism Awards acknowledge and celebrate tourism excellence. This program rewards businesses that demonstrate significant achievement throughout the year. With 27 submission categories available, the awards showcase a variety of tourism products and businesses delivering outstanding service to guests in NSW.
Winners will be announced at the NSW Tourism Awards Presentation Night on Thursday 16 November at International Convention Centre, Sydney.

Winners from 25 aligned national categories will then represent NSW at the Qantas Australian Tourism Awards on
Friday 23 February 2018 in Perth.
All industry members and finalists are invited to attend the NSW Tourism Awards Presentation and Cocktail Celebration on Thursday 16 November 2017.
