New Delhi: Vivid Sydney, with its spectacular kaleidoscope of colours, incredible Vivid Music acts and engaging Vivid Ideas programmes attracted 2.33 million visitors last year, and travellers can make the most of their Festival visit this year by spending some extra time exploring NSW in winter.
From stunning national parks and historic towns, to fabulous food and wine trails, wonderful whale watching, super snowfields and outstanding Outback adventures, there is something for everyone in NSW.
NSW Minister for Tourism and Major Events Adam Marshall said Vivid Sydney was an opportunity to showcase not only Sydney, but the entire State. “Last year, nearly 38,000 visitors to Vivid Sydney chose to extend their stay in NSW and travel beyond the fringes of Sydney, staying more than 94,000 nights and injecting over $16 million into the State’s regional economy,” Marshall added.
“For those who come for Vivid Sydney, we encourage them to make the most of their trip by staying on for a memorable holiday in Australia’s most geographically diverse State. Exciting experiences awaits beyond the city limits and Winter is the ideal time to experience many of them.”
Some of the many destinations and activities on offer in NSW includes; Blue Mountains, Snowy Mountains, NSW Food and Wine Trails, Country NSW, Outback NSW, North of Sydney, South of Sydney and Lord Howe Island.
Vivid Sydney is the world’s largest festival of light, music and ideas and now the largest event in Australia. For 23 days – from 25 May to 16 June 2018 – the event places a spotlight on Sydney and reinforces its position as the home of light, creativity, cutting edge music, engaging conversations and the exchange of new ideas.
