The ceremony saw BridgeClimb, the popular visitor experience in Sydney, pick up the gold award for NSW's major tourist attractions for the third year in a row.
BridgeClimb was also inducted into the NSW Tourism Awards' hall of fame and shared the people's choice award with the Sydney Royal Easter Show.
