Media Release Trilogy Hotels’ founders speak on the growth of Western Sydney
Exciting news for Western Sydney’s future and NSW tourism!
At Trilogy Hotels, we’re thrilled to see the Minns Government’s ambitious plans for NSW’s visitor economy, which align perfectly with our vision for Western Sydney’s development.
The government has just announced a bold new goal of $91 billion in annual visitor economy expenditure by 2035 – a 40% increase from the previous target. This growth is expected to create up to 150,000 new jobs, with $44 billion (48%) of the total spend projected for regional NSW.
Key points from the announcement that support our vision:
• The need for 40,000 extra hotel rooms across NSW, a 41% increase on current availability
• Focus on ‘experience tourism’ and celebrating First Nations culture
• Increased aviation capacity, including the Western Sydney International Airport opening in 2026
As we’ve been saying, Western Sydney is poised to become a major tourism destination and economic powerhouse. The government’s strategy reinforces our call for:
• Creating sustainable tourism attractions beyond the airport
• Developing a skilled hospitality workforce
• Encouraging government incentives for new tourism projects
• Reimagining Sydney’s tourism offering with Western Sydney at its heart
Trilogy’s vision aligns perfectly with the government’s strategy: “We need to extend the vision for Sydney beyond the harbour and reimagine Sydney’s tourism offering, including a built-for-purpose Western Sydney. This is the jewel in the crown.”
Let’s work together to make Western Sydney a compelling destination for visitors and a thriving hub for locals. With the government’s support and our industry’s efforts, we can truly build a “growth engine” not just for NSW, but for all of Australia.
