NSW Food & Wine Tourism Strategy & Action Plan 2018
New South Wales Food & Wine Tourism Strategy & Action Plan 2018 - 2022 FOREWORD The NSW Food & Wine Tourism Strategy & Action Plan 2018 - 2022 is designed to provide the food and wine sector and the tourism industry with an overview of Destination NSW’s plans to further support the development of food and wine tourism to the State. NSW attracts more domestic and international visitors than any Australian State, giving us a position of strength to leverage in growing consumer interest and participation in food and wine tourism experiences. The lifeblood of this vibrant industry sector is the passion and innovation of our producers, vignerons, chefs and restaurateurs and the influence of our multicultural population on ingredients, cooking styles and cuisine and beverage purveyors. NSW is also home to the oldest and newest wine regions in Australia, world renowned for vintages of exceptional quality. From fifth-generation, family-owned wineries to a new generation of winemakers experimenting with alternative techniques and varietals, the State’s wine industry is a key player in the tourism industry. Alongside our winemakers, a new breed of beverage makers – the brewers of craft beer and ciders and distillers of gin and other spirits – is enriching the visitor experience. The aim of this Strategy & Action Plan is to ensure NSW’s exceptional food and wine experiences become a highlight for visitors to the State. Destination NSW is grateful to the many industry stakeholders who have contributed to the development of this Strategy and Action Plan, and we look forward to working together to deliver outstanding food and wine experiences to every visitor. -
