The festival in 2018 attracted 2.25 million people, injecting more than $172 million into the state’s economy. “Attracting both domestic and international visitors, Vivid adds to the city’s appeal as a diverse and enticing place to travel. “This is one of Sydney’s major events designed to showcase the iconic buildings of the city, as well as its historical, creative and trading side and businesses need to prepare now to ensure they leverage the potential of what is a world class festival,” Mr Lamont said.
