New appointments to spur uninterrupted NSW Outback tourism growth

Monday, February 25, 2019

In order to ensure continued growth of tourism in rural and regional NSW, Minister for Tourism and Major Events Adam Marshall has announced two new appointments to the Board of Destination Country & Outback NSW.

Marshall was joined by Nationals candidate for Dubbo, Dugald Saunders to welcome new Chairman Clyde Thomson AM and new Director Natalie Forsyth-Stock to the Board at the Destination Country & Outback NSW headquarters in Dubbo.

“Both new board members are passionate proponents of the State’s tourism industry and will play an important role in continuing to strengthen the visitor economy throughout the Country & Outback region,” Marshall said.

Saunders said tourism was an important industry for the region and welcomed the new board members to help drive more overnight visitors to the Central West.

“Across our region we have so much to promote and much more for visitors to enjoy and I welcome any extra help to attract more tourists here to stay, eat, drink and spend their money,” Saunders said.

Clyde Thomson has spent more than 40 years working with rural and remote communities, most recently heading up the Royal Flying Doctor Service South Eastern section.

Thomson said he looked forward to steering the continued growth of tourism in the region.

“I look forward to supporting the many businesses and organisations within the region’s tourism industry through the work of Country & Outback NSW, to continue to grow the visitor economy and ensure we leverage everything we have to offer,” he said.

Natalie Forsyth-Stock has a strong finance background and extensive networks within the tourism, food and wine and agribusiness sectors.
