These first-hand tips and recommendations will promote Regional NSW as an outstanding short break and holiday destination through the eyes of the people who love it most.  

The best video and photo submissions, showcasing the unique regions and experiences in NSW, will be heroed in a series of eight curated short films that demonstrate how rich and diverse the State is, ripe with endless holiday opportunities.

Destination NSW Chief Executive Officer Sandra Chipchase said: “Holidaying locally remains a popular choice for Australians, with regional NSW receiving more than 20.6 million domestic overnight visitors in the year ending 2016, up by 6.8%.”

“Regional NSW offers great diversity of experience including awe-inspiring national parks, pristine beaches and coastline, historic homesteads and farmstays, enlightening Indigenous experiences, immersive art trails, delicious food and wine, and an exciting calendar of Regional events.”  

Locals and visitors are encouraged to upload their inspirational holiday videos at visitnsw.com/ilovensw. Holiday snaps can also be shared on Instagram and Twitter using #ILoveNSW.
