Tourism boom as more airlines fly to NSW

ALMOST one million extra seats are on offer from seven international airlines flying to Sydney, #Australia, providing a massive boost to #tourism during the busy summer months. 

New South Wales minister for Trade, Tourism and Major Events, Stuart Ayres, said the airlines will provide a huge economic benefit to Sydney and regional accommodation, restaurants, retailers, and visitor attractions.

‘Our state is Australia's home of international travel, and the NSW government through our tourism and major events agency Destination NSW, has developed key international partnerships to attract the world's best airlines,’ Mr Ayres said.

International visitors to NSW spent more than AU$8 billion during the last 12 months, an increase of 15 percent in the last year, with a significant jump in visitors from China.

New services by All Nippon Airways, Xiamen Airlines, Solomon Airlines, American Airlines, Indonesia AirAsia X, Hainan Airlines, and Qatar Airways will result in more than 980,000 seats in the next 12 months, providing an estimated AU$400 million economic injection of visitor expenditure to NSW.
