Visitor Economy Taskforce

The NSW Government has established the Visitor Economy Taskforce to develop a tourism and events strategy to double tourism expenditure to NSW by 2020. A final report will be presented to the Minister for Tourism, Major Events, Hospitality and Racing and Minister for the Arts, the Hon. George Souris by the end of May 2012. 

The taskforce members are Russell Balding, AO, the Hon. Bruce Baird, John King and Sandra Chipchase.

The work of the Taskforce will be broad in scope and will address areas of demand and supply. View the Visitor Economy Taskforce Terms of Reference here >  (PDF file, 23kb)

Stakeholder involvement will be fundamental to the shaping of a successful strategy and there will be close engagement with industry and government at all levels. 

A number of Industry Advisory Groups will be established to develop ideas in key areas that will deliver growth in tourism and events for NSW. The Taskforce will also consider the findings of recent reports developed in partnership with industry.

The Visitor Economy Taskforce will work alongside Destination NSW and its Board and welcomes industry’s views and ideas. There will be regular communication to keep you informed and update you on ways to provide your input.
