Winners from the 2024 NSW Tourism awards
At Chapman Tours we were so proud to win the GOLD award as the best ‘tour and transport operator’ in NSW at the recent NSW Tourism awards. The winners of the NSW Tourism Awards 2024 were announced during a gala event at The Star Sydney in November.
Category winners from the NSW Tourism Awards will now represent the state at the Australian Tourism Awards. The NSW Tourism Awards are the exclusive pathway for NSW visitor economy businesses to qualify for the national competition. In March, our team and those from other winners will converge on Adelaide to fly the NSW Tourism flag for all to see. Our hard work and commitment to storytelling and industry excellence paid off with independent judges acknowledging our family-owned business. On the night we were in awe seeing so many amazing NSW businesses that won their categories and it made us incredibly proud to be part of this vibrant NSW visitor economy.
We would like to acknowledge the hard-working team at the NSW Tourism Association and all GOLD winners below and if you’re visiting our country please support these award winning businesses.
