NSW Minister for Trade, Tourism and Major Events Stuart Ayres congratulated 16 students on their academic achievements and acknowledged the importance of professional training to the tourism industry.
“These Awards celebrate the achievements of our State’s best students who represent the future of tourism and hospitality,” Mr Ayres said.
“Our tourism industry is all about delivering outstanding experiences every day – making sure visitors enjoy their stay, tell others and return year after year.
“Providing world-class service demands the dedication and commitment of the thousands of individuals employed by our tourism businesses and it is my pleasure to honour the next generation of tourism staff and operators.”
Destination NSW Chief Executive Officer Sandra Chipchase said the students’ commitment to excellence would see them well placed to deliver fantastic visitor experiences throughout their careers.
“These students will make an important contribution to the NSW tourism industry in coming years and, as the NSW Government’s tourism and major events agency, we are delighted to acknowledge and support their professional development,” Ms Chipchase said.
Students from NSW education institutions offering degrees, diplomas and certificate courses in tourism and hospitality studies can be nominated for the Awards. To be eligible, students must have completed one year of their studies and be a resident of NSW.
