The Hunter’s popular showcase of caravan and camping products, services and equipment is back this February with three days of excitement at the Newcastle Caravan Camping Lifestyle Expo. Held at the Newcastle Entertainment Centre and Showground, the Expo has vast outdoor exhibitions and large undercover halls with plenty of space for the enjoyment, comfort and safety of attendees and exhibitors.
The long running Expo is staged annually by the Caravan & Camping Industry Association (CCIA NSW) and is run in accordance with NSW Health’s COVID Safe guidelines.
Taking place from Friday 4th to Sunday 6th February the Expo will provide an extensive display of products including the latest caravans, motorhomes, campervans, camper trailers, tents, camping equipment, 4WD accessories, holiday parks and more.
“Australia’s love of travel and the great outdoors has not dampened over the past 2 years, with a huge leap in the number of people taking caravan and camping holidays as COVID restrictions have eased,” Ms Lyndel Gray CEO of CCIA NSW said.
“Caravan and camping holidays are uniquely enticing as they connect travellers to nature, give them access to some of the most beautiful locations NSW has to offer, and people just love being outdoors and camping under the stars.
“Last year visitors took 4 million overnight caravan or camping trips in NSW which was a 17% increase on the previous year when COVID lockdowns took a significant toll.
“Caravan and camping has always been hugely popular but now, as people seek confidence in their holiday plans, these kinds of holidays are proving to be even more attractive.
“The beauty of the Newcastle Expo is that it provides a one-stop-shop where people can see some of the latest and best that the industry has to offer and get inspiration for new holiday destinations across NSW.
“This year there will be a guest appearance on Friday and Saturday by Publisher and popular TV personality Pat Callinan who is one of Australia’s best loved 4×4, RV and camping experts.”
