Now in its 28th year, the NSW Tourism Awards 2017 acknowledge and celebrate tourism excellence. The program rewards businesses that demonstrate significant achievement throughout the year. With 27 submission categories available, the awards showcase a variety of tourism products and businesses delivering outstanding service to guests in NSW.
The NSW Tourism Awards’ criteria and categories are set by the Australian Tourism Industry Council (ATIC). Select NSW category winners may progress to the Qantas Australian Tourism Awards to be judged against finalists from each State and Territory.
The Vintry has competed in the NSW Tourism Awards for Deluxe Accommodation in 2009 and 2012 and was successful with the Gold and Silver awards respectively. Find out more about the winners in the NSW Tourism Awards Deluxe Accommodation category.
