First Nations tourism in New South Wales is set to be bolstered with a $3.6 million injection from the Federal and NSW governments.

The Strategic Indigenous Tourism Projects (SITP) package includes more than $2 million to expand NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service cultural tours and train around 200 Aboriginal tour guides, alongside a new $400,000 Cultural Arts Tourism Fund run by Create NSW.

Minister for Indigenous Australians, Malarndirri McCarthy, said the partnership would help expand "numerous Aboriginal-led experiences and events" across NSW.

"First Nations tourism allows visitors from across the country and around the world to learn more about the world's oldest continuous living culture," she said in a statement.

"By investing in First Nations tourism, we are driving regional economic growth, creating sustainable jobs and strengthening pathways for Aboriginal businesses to succeed in the visitor economy."

Additional support will help Aboriginal tourism businesses attend trade events, implement online booking systems and expand their market reach, while Destination NSW will conduct research into barriers and opportunities across the sector.

The National Indigenous Art Fair in Sydney will also receive event support funding through Destination NSW.

The initiative aims to strengthen Aboriginal-owned tourism enterprises, create jobs and increase access to authentic cultural experiences, with First Nations tourism a key driver of regional economic growth and cultural education.

NSW Aboriginal Tourism Operators Council (NATOC) chair, Dwayne Bannon-Harrison, welcomed the funding announcement and "Destination NSW's continued commitment to Aboriginal cultural tourism, which helps ensure opportunities flow back to Country, community, and the storytellers who carry this work".

"NATOC is deeply committed to strengthening Aboriginal tourism across New South Wales, and these initiatives reflect an important step toward supporting businesses and communities to share culture with visitors," he said.

NSW Tourism Minister Steve Kamper said the state government was committed to backing Aboriginal tourism operators and was "thrilled to be partnering with the Federal Government to support their growth right across the state".

"From guided cultural walks and On-Country experiences to food and artwork workshops and performances, there are abundant opportunities for visitors to Sydney and regional NSW to take part in rich and immersive experiences that connect them to Country," he said.
