Minister launches Hunter Valley Wine & Tourism Alliance

Minister for Regional Development John Barilaro will launch The Hunter Valley Wine & Tourism Alliance on Thursday. The alliance, a partnership between Cessnock and Singleton councils as well as the Hunter Valley Wine and Tourism Association, aims to double overnight visitor expenditure in the region by 2020. “International tourists will be encouraged to travel due to the strength of the Australian dollar, domestic tourists will be encouraged to tour within Australia and we must all ensure we pursue excellence.”
