Ready to turn recognition into real growth? We unveil the first NSW & ACT Outdoor Industry Awards and show how a thoughtful submission can double as a strategy sprint for your team. From categories spanning education, adventure tourism, therapy, play, events, and supporting services to clear criteria on delivery, sustainability, inclusion, development, and client engagement, we break down exactly what judges look for and how to prove your impact with data, testimonials, and measured outcomes.
We also dig into Destination NSW insights from Dec 2024, on nature-based travel: spend was up even as nights softened, with the North Coast, South Coast, Sydney, Hunter, and Central Coast leading the way. Private stays and travel with friends or relatives dominate, and cycling was surging across sightseeing, road, and mountain biking. We translate the numbers into action: extend day trips into overnights with bundled itineraries, connect trail networks to local businesses, and design family-friendly experiences that compete with screens through short, social, and seamless formats.
On the operational front, we flag a harness D-ring safety alert with replacement kits, outline the Jindabyne Mountain Bike and Adventure Park EOI, and highlight new access to NSW Government sport and recreation centres. Pair those opportunities with traineeship subsidies for outdoor adventure guides and targeted professional development across first aid, canyoning, canoeing, leadership, and facilitation. We round out with regional park updates, Women’s Week activities, and an open door to shape the AAAS review and workforce data that keep our sector on the priority list.
Entries are open now, and members submit free. If you’ve never entered awards, this is the moment: state the claim, justify it with context, prove it with evidence, and use judge feedback as free consultancy to lift your delivery for the year ahead. Subscribe, share this with your team, and leave a review telling us which category you’ll enter and why it matters to your community.
