Creating NSW experiences - for every traveller
What makes a destination truly memorable? It's not just the places one visits, but the feeling of being welcomed when they arrive. Across NSW, visitors can discover experiences, vibrant communities and tourism operators committed to creating a sense of belonging for all travellers.
Read on to explore how you can create itineraries that celebrate diversity and showcase the many ways NSW welcomes all visitors.
Exploring NSW with confidence
Planning an all-encompassing Sydney itinerary starts with understanding getting around the city’s accessible transport network and breadth of accessible attractions and activities. From including a step-free Sydney Opera House tour or a visit to one of the city’s popular museums and galleries through to comprehensive touring experiences, like Australia in Style or Sensory Tourism Australia, there are many ways travel planners can create seamless journeys, enabling more visitors to confidently experience the Harbour City and it’s bucket-list attractions.
Beyond the city, your clients can abseil the World Heritage-listed landscapes of the Blue Mountains with Blue Mountains Climbing School’s Accessible Adventures or experience the state from above with Balloon Aloft in the Hunter Valley.
Sensory-rich hikes and walks that immerse visitors in sound, scent and texture, as well as the many access-friendly walking tracks within NSW's national parks, offer flexible ways to experience diverse landscapes, whether with expert guides or at an independent pace.
Vision Walks Eco-Tours
Vision Walks Eco-Tours, has officially joined Australian Wildlife Journeys and with flexible arrangements, trained guides and a commitment to ensuring every guest feels included, the award-winning Byron Bay operator provides inclusive ways to experience NSW’s natural landscapes.
Reflections Jimmys Beach
A three-hour drive north of Sydney, visitors can immerse in an authentically Australian stay at Reflections Jimmys Beach, amongst the call of kookaburras and an abundance of Australian wildlife. The property boasts accessible cabins and a brand-new, wheelchair friendly, saltwater pool.
A city where diversity is celebrated at every turn
Sydney’s LGBTQIA+ scene is vibrant, welcoming and full of energy, with iconic precincts like the Rainbow Precinct offering nightlife, culture and community experiences year-round.
For a fun and immersive way to experience it, book a bespoke experience like a nightlife tour hosted by a drag queen with Local Sauce Tours or a unique and entertaining art experience at the Art Gallery of NSW.
For guests wanting to position themselves in the heart of Australia's LGBTQIA+ community, try accommodation options such as Adge Hotel, 25hours Hotel Sydney The Olympia and Hotel Indigo.
Live Like a Local
Harbour City Tours invites visitors to experience Sydney beyond the guidebooks with a new private full-day tour featuring harbour walks, ferry rides, neighbourhood pubs, lawn bowls, boutique breweries and hidden coffee spots, all hosted by a local guide with private vehicle transport included.
NYE at Sydney Opera House
Opera Australia's New Year’s Eve Opera and Gala Concert at the Sydney Opera House are now on sale to the travel trade. Guests can also experience the timeless tale of La Bohème in the Joan Sutherland Theatre, a new production set in snow-kissed Paris and shimmering with magic.
