From the Coast to the Desert, Global Content Creator Inspires Travellers to Visit New South Wales
Sydney, April 23, 2022
Spectacular new scenic imagery of New South Wales destinations will be shared across social platforms globally from today with the launch of a seven-part content collaboration with world renowned content creator, Eugene Tan and Destination NSW.
Produced in partnership with the NSW Government as part of the Feel New South Wales campaign, the content series takes Tan right across the state to capture the beaches of Byron Bay and Brunswick Heads on NSW’s North Coast, as well as Lord Howe Island.
In a dramatic departure from Tan’s typical coastal photo subject matter, Tan also captures the dramatic desert landscape of Outback NSW in Broken Hill.
Minister for Enterprise, Investment and Trade, Minister for Tourism and Sport and Minister for Western Sydney Stuart Ayres said the collaboration speaks to the state’s fresh new approach to marketing NSW.
“The ‘Feel New’ campaign is a key pillar of the NSW Government’s Visitor Economy Strategy 2030, which aims to make NSW the premier visitor economy of the Asia Pacific”, Mr Ayres said.
“Content and social media has never played a more important role in helping us discover our next holiday destination. Through Aquabumps, Eugene has ensured his work is eagerly anticipated and shared on social media by millions of people each week.”
“His shots are powerful, emotive and distinctive. Who better to capture some of NSW’s most stunning locations and introduce prospective visitors from around the world to the incredible products and experiences our state has to offer?”
Ten destinations feature in the Feel NSW Aquabumps series, with the shoot style of the visual imagery supporting the seven feelings of the Feel New brand—joy, connection, freedom, awe, rejuvenation, belonging and adventure.
Aquabumps founder Eugene Tan said his latest NSW series was the ultimate creative brief.
“Shooting for my fine art gallery—Aquabumps has taken me to a lot of incredible destinations over the years but none are as special to me as NSW. NSW is home and where I shoot most of the time, I’m never at a loss for new places and experiences to capture in our own backyard.”
“This is a magical place of contrasts, offering unique and diverse nature, coastlines and cultural experiences to everyone who visits. It was an honour to have the opportunity to do something to showcase some of this diversity.”
“I hope the series inspires travellers from near and far to get out there and explore everything our state has to offer”, said Tan.
The Feel NSW Aquabumps series includes the following NSW locations and will go live each week from today until 6 June.
- NSW North Coast, Byron Bay, Brunswick Heads and Tintenbar
- NSW Outback, Broken Hill
- NSW Snowy Mountains
- Hawkesbury River
- NSW Mid North Coast, Seal Rocks, Sandbar Beach
