Regional Flagship Events Program
The Regional Flagship Events Program supports the marketing of events that play an important role in bringing visitors to regional NSW. Increased visitation can deliver much-needed tourist dollars to communities and strengthen the regional economy.
To be funded under the Regional Flagship Events Program, events must have tourism potential and reflect the character and culture of an area. The events act as a ‘flagship’ for their region.
Since 1996, Destination NSW has provided more than $5.1 million to support more than 235 events in regional NSW. Destination NSW provides funding in $10,000 one-off grants or triennial funding of $20,000 per year for 3 years to event organisers to support the marketing and advertising of events.
Expressions of interest for the 2012 Regional Flagship Events Program are now closed.
