The latest Tourism Research Australia data for the year ending March 2024 shows domestic overnight conference visitors to NSW spent on average $530 per night, which is 133.8 per cent higher than domestic leisure visitors spend per night.    Destination NSW recently introduced new messaging for Business Events NSW, aligned to the ‘Feel New’ visitor brand - ‘Corporate events that feel anything but’ – to drive business events growth in regional NSW.   The messaging highlights how NSW takes business events beyond the boardroom. From Ballina to Bateman’s Bay and Gosford to Griffith, every corner of the state is filled with unique and immersive experiences that ensure long-lasting memories, not just a stack of business cards.   NSW visitor economy businesses can take advantage of the opportunities presented by the business events sector by creating a free listing on the Business Events NSW website at bensw.com.au.   More visitation and expenditure data, plus information on how to maximise your Business Events NSW listing, is available at https://lnkd.in/g7x6xQmR   #feelnew #feelnsw #visitoreconomy #destinationnsw #businessevents #regionalnsw #BENSW
