Cultural tourism development in the NSW Central West region is one of the key strategic focus areas of Arts OutWest.
In our strategic plan we aim to:
- Create material that showcases the region’s culture to tourists
- Create partnerships with providers and promoters of tourism
- Partner on events and projects that provide outcomes in building cultural tourism
- Create networks that support cultural tourism
