100 Years of Tourism New South Wales
Key Themes
Look how much we've grown! We've come a long way since the first tourism kiosk was set up in Martin Place. Our key themes will give you an insight into our changing taste in accommodation, our dynamic transport industry, the big crowd-pulling events we love, our treasured icons and how we like to holiday. Tourism Change follows our travel trends from simple beach holidays to stays in eco-friendly resorts. Transport follows the journey from horse-drawn carriages to low-cost domestic airlines. Accommodation tells the story of a good night's sleep, from the days when visitors stayed in guesthouses in the Blue Mountains, to the trendiest boutique accommodation. Events take a look at our perennial love affair with a party - be it an agricultural show or a mega fireworks display. Our fantastic Attractions are the main reason we travel in the first place and we have natural and manmade icons that attract international visitors from across the globe. back to top |
