Member for Port Macquarie Leslie Williams said Treehouse Retreat Diamond Waters will receive $85,790 from the NSW Government’s Regional Tourism Fund.
“Treehouse Retreat Diamond Waters currently offers overnight accommodation in two luxury treehouses set amongst a beautiful natural landscape, so I am delighted that this NSW Government funding will allow them to add to their existing tourism offering,” Ms Williams said.
“The new multi-purpose facility will cater for a number of events including wedding receptions, small conferences and health and well-being activities.
“More overnight visitors to the NSW North Coast means more heads on beds, diners in our restaurants and shoppers in our boutiques, all driving our local visitor economy which is great news for local businesses.”
“This is a great boost for sustainable Camden Haven eco-tourism. We are delighted, this project has been designed to promote the sheer natural beauty of our area and help fill other tourism beds, restaurants and businesses during off peak seasons,” said owner Peter Johnson.
Minister for Tourism and Major Events Adam Marshall congratulated Treehouse Retreat Diamond Waters on their successful initiative and said the NSW Government is doing everything it can to drive more visitors to rural and regional areas.
“The Regional Tourism Fund is part of our strategy to boost tourism right across the state and increase visitation to our wonderful regions such as the north coast which in turn, supports the local economy and jobs,” Mr Marshall said.
“We look forward to welcoming more travellers to the region as a result of this funding boost which is designed to fuel the state’s economy as the NSW Government is working towards our goal of tripling overnight visitor expenditure and reaching $25 billion in regional visitor expenditure by 2030.”
