The Regional Tourism Organisations of New England North West, Central NSW, Riverina Tourism and Outback Tourism have collaborated since 2004 to conduct the Inland NSW Tourism Awards.
CountryLink has been our naming rights sponsor since 2005 with this partnership moving forward to promote and enhance tourism in regional NSW.
