Destination Port Stephens (DPS) is a non-profit, incorporated body supported by Port Stephens Council (PSC), owned by members and autonomously managed by a Board of nine industry representatives.

Funding for DPS is sourced primarily from an annual investment from Port Stephens Council, members, strategic partners and hard-won grants. Ultimately, it is up to industry – the members – to support the organisation that, will in turn, ensure growth in the visitor economy.

DPS creates, develops and implements a range of projects and marketing programs aimed at increasing brand awareness and intention to travel across key domestic and international visitor source markets. In partnership with members, the organisation also implements a range of tactical marketing campaigns to drive conversion and grow overnight visitation.

DPS advocates for members in areas of policy and regulation across the visitor economy and builds collaborative networks throughout the region to create opportunities for new and existing tourism product.

Our focus is to drive destination marketing, destination management and destination development strategies to increase the overnight visitor spend across Port Stephens.
