The State's next generation of world-class tourism professionals were honoured today in a special ceremony at NSW Parliament House to mark the 2017 Minister's Student Achiever Awards.
Minister for Tourism and Major Events and Assistant Minister for Skills Adam Marshall congratulated 14 students on their academic achievements in tourism and hospitality studies.
"The students honoured today represent the future of tourism and hospitality, and embody the commitment to excellence that is critical to the continued success of our industry," Mr Marshall said.
"The NSW Government is committed to growing the NSW visitor economy to ensure we remain the number one State for tourism and major events in Australia. This means the creation of more jobs across the industry and more opportunities for future generations of tourism industry professionals."
Mr Marshall also congratulated the tertiary institutions on their continued support of tourism and hospitality related studies.
"It is encouraging to see the wide cross-section of institutions represented by these students and I thank them for their continued commitment to fostering our future industry leaders."
Since 1990, the NSW Government has acknowledged academically high achieving tourism and hospitality students at an annual Minister's Student Achievers Awards ceremony.
Students from NSW education institutions offering degrees, diplomas and certificate courses in tourism and hospitality studies can be nominated for the Awards.
To be eligible, students must have completed one year of their studies and be a resident of NSW.
