Beyond Tourism - Advocacy for Now and the Future of Business

Tourism is a major part of Byron’s economy - but what does the future of the industry look like, and who is advocating for local tourism businesses?

Join the Byron Bay Chamber for Beyond Tourism, an opportunity to hear directly from the organisations representing and supporting tourism across NSW and the North Coast.

Meet Nat Godward, CEO and Cam Arnold, Board Member from the NSW Tourism Association, and Jeanie Wylie from Destination Byron to hear the latest on industry advocacy, government engagement, tourism funding and the issues shaping the sector. Find out about the NSW Tourism Awards, tourism quality assurance programs and the work being done with Destination NSW and the Minister for Tourism.

Importantly, this is also a chance for Byron tourism businesses to have their say. Bring your questions, raise the issues affecting your business and share what you believe needs to change.

The NSW Tourism Association is currently advocating for greater investment in tourism and building campaigns to demonstrate the value tourism funding delivers to local communities - including the role of organisations such as the Cape Byron Trust in supporting tourism infrastructure and experiences.

And, of course, there’ll be plenty of opportunity to meet and network with other local Byron businesses.

The Byron Bay Chamber is a member of the NSW Tourism Association, and we’re pleased to host this conversation in Byron.

Attendence is free, but be sure to register to attend.
