Destination NSW's consumer travel website, VisitNSW.com, has a new suite of

still and video Zoom-ready assets available for consumers to download to make

their conferencing calls a little more fun.

The Zoom background collection was curated to inspire wanderlust in the

dreaming phase of the travel planning cycle, with NSW backgrounds curated

around three key themes - native animals, sunrise and sunset, and spectacular

scenery.

The NSW destinations and experiences include stargazing in the Southern

Hemisphere's first Dark Sky Park in the Warrumbungles, sea life frolicking

underwater along the NSW Coast from Tweed Heads to Narooma, aerial shots of

regional NSW including Stockton Beach and Broken Hill, breakfast with Coffs

Harbour kangaroos, and a timelapse of the world-famous Sydney Harbour.

"Travel might be postponed, but dreaming about travelling is definitely

encouraged via our Zoom-ready assets," said Stephen Mahoney, Acting CEO,

Destination NSW.

"Our stunning NSW Zoom backgrounds have been created to keep NSW's unique

experiences and destinations top of mind, and to provide inspiration for future

holidays makers as they dream about travelling while staying connected and

entertained through Zoom calls in the current stay-at-home period," said

Mahoney.

With a number of virtual wonderlands and three themes to choose from, join the

revolution and take your pick of one of the following Zoom backgrounds to
