Gold sponsor

Nomads is proud to be backing Youth Tourism NSW and this year’s YTNSW Ball as the event’s gold sponsor, because let’s be honest, youth tourism has never been about standing quietly in the corner.

From bunk beds to bar crawls, island trips to questionable karaoke, sunrise missions to “one quiet drink” that somehow ends at 3am, Nomads has spent years creating the places and moments where backpackers meet their people and make the stories they’ll be telling long after they’ve gone home.

As part of Tourism Adventure Group’s 17-property network across Australia, New Zealand and South East Asia, Nomads connects travellers with social hostels, buzzing bars, travel desks and experiences built for the backpacker market. That means beds, beers, buses, boats, jobs, tours and the occasional life decision they may or may not fully remember.

They’re stoked to support YTNSW and an event that celebrates the people who keep this industry loud, welcoming, slightly unhinged and a hell of a lot of fun.

Find them at www.nomadsworld.com or better yet, find them at the bar!
