Lake Mac GLAM – Cultural Tourism: Putting Arts and Culture on the Map

Cultural Tourism is having its moment in the spotlight with the release of Creative Communities, the NSW Arts, Culture and Creative Industries Policy. The policy aims to grow national and international audiences, drawing on the rich diversity of cultural experiences, artforms, and local initiatives. As a part of this ambition, NSW tourism will increase its focus on cultural experiences, including festivals and First Nations cultural tourism.

At GLAM 3 we will explore:

• Re-positioning culture: it’s about the destination not the Journey
• First nations culture: celebrating and sharing first nations culture in our regions
• Public Art as a destination offering
• Opening doors: Access and inclusion for cultural experiences

Ticketing information:
