Member for Dubbo Troy Grant said the Fund, managed by the State’s tourism and major events agency, Destination NSW, provides grants to support marketing activities that drive overnight visitation.
“I am delighted that the Dubbo Stampede, the Dubbo Dream Festival and the Flavours of Mudgee Festival will receive funding under the 2018 Flagship Event Fund.”
“These are all great events that bring people to our community and I look forward to welcoming many more visitors to the electorate to further position our region as a must-see destination in NSW.”
Minister for Tourism and Major Events Adam Marshall said these three events were part of 35 events and festivals across regional NSW that will receive grants through the 2018 Flagship Event Fund.
“The 2018 Flagship Event Program features events that reflect the unique character, culture and attributes of their local community,” Mr Marshall said.
“We know that support for events helps to promote our State’s fantastic destinations while putting more heads on beds, diners in our restaurants and shoppers in our boutiques. I look forward to welcoming more visitors to our regions next year for this fantastic event program.”
The Flagship Event Fund offers annual grants of $20,000 or a triennial grant of $27,500 each year for three years and is part of the expanded Regional Flagship Events Program.
