In 2016, the town of Orange in Central West NSW and its surroundings welcomed over a million visitors – the first year in which the region has crossed that mark. Tourism to the area has grown in recent years as Orange’s beautiful scenery and heritage streetscapes has been bolstered by a burgeoning reputation for delicious food and wine.
