| Group Description: |
Visitors to the South East and Tablelands Region enjoy year-round access to mountains, coasts and rural hinterlands, as well as Canberra’s world-class cultural institutions, such as the National Museum of Australia, the Australian War Memorial and the National Gallery
of Australia. The tourism industry brings $1.2 billion to the regional economy each year. The Snowy Mountains, the south coast and the rural hinterland offer recreational experiences including food, wine and cultural trails. The Snowy Mountains tourism industry contributes more than $500 million to the regional economy each year. This market is geared towards winter, with more than half the visitation occurring during the peak snow period, making it the most seasonal tourism location in Australia. Agritourism ventures such as farm stay accommodation, farm gate activities and farm events enable farmers to diversify and value-add to their existing farming enterprises. |
