General Information

In February 2020, a Visitor Economy Bushfire Recovery Summit, was held on the South Coast of NSW, in the wake of a prolonged and devastating bushfire period. The event was hosted by Destination Southern NSW (DSNSW) and Destination Sydney Surrounds South (DSSS), with a focus on sharing strategies to support communities through a locally-led recovery process. The event also provided a platform for attendees to communicate the needs of business owners.

Podcast host and industry leader, Adrian Easdown, was commissioned to capture key messages from the summit. The result is a series of podcast episodes, highlighting actions business owners can take to stay informed, find support and rebuild, during times of crisis.
