Visitor numbers up at the 2009 NSW Supershow

The 2009 NSW Caravan, Camping, 4WD and Holiday Supershow held at Rosehill Racecourse from 18th to 26th April 2009 reported increased visitors numbers and encouraging exhibitor feedback.
Barry Baillie, Chief Executive of the Caravan and Camping Industry Association of NSW said that visitor numbers totalled 78,192 over the nine day event which was slightly up on 2008 figures.
âIt is a great result to have over 78,000 people attend the NSW Supershow this year to browse exhibits and learn more about caravan and camping holidays.
âGenerally, exhibitors reported very good results at the show this year, considering the economic climate.�?
Camper trailers and camping products were popular purchases at the show this year with families keen to get into the holiday mode.
âFamilies with children between the ages of two and 15 years were interested in the campers for holidays.�?
âThree to four person tents have been a very popular purchase for young families and couples visiting the show this year and fold-up camp cupboards and camping chairs have also been popular.
âCaravan and camping tourism has been growing for over 10 years and we are encouraged that strong attendance figures at the show this year are differentiating our industry from other tourism sectors that may be feeling the effects of the economic slump,�? Baillie concluded.
