Tourism

TOURISM IS A MAJOR CONTRIBUTOR TO THE NSW ECONOMY.

The visitor economy supports more than 107,115 businesses and over 296,000 jobs. It is the state’s fifth largest employment group, accounting for approximately seven per cent of total jobs. In 2018/19, the visitor economy contributed $38 billion (6 per cent) to NSW Gross State Product (GSP). That’s why Business NSW is dedicated to ensuring NSW remains Australia’s number one tourism destination.
