Be an integral part of our Incredible PLACE.

Our vision : For Port Stephens to be recognised as NSW leading tourism destination.

Our purpose : To double visitor expenditure to $1 billion annually by 2030.

Destination Port Stephens’ primary role is to develop and implement destination marketing programs. Due to the significant impacts of COVID-19 our programs in 2020-21 are required to be flexible and adaptable. Co-operative marketing opportunities are available for members to participate to promote their product or experience.

Tourism is one of the fastest growing sectors globally however is also one of the most competitive. For Port Stephens to secure an increased share of visitors we need to work in partnership with industry stakeholders to drive increased visitation and economic benefits. Port Stephens is not just competing with other regional NSW destinations for visitors as consumers have a wide choice of domestic and international destinations offering a variety of appealing experiences and competitive pricing.

By working together we can have a thriving and sustainable tourism industry and achieve our goal to double visitor expenditure to reach $1 billion dollars annually by 2030.
