Council has just launched a new marketing campaign, which includes television and digital marketing, encouraging people in neighbouring western towns to take some time to enjoy Dubbo like tourists.
"Typically regional visitation has great economic value to the market as a whole and these regular visitors may be spending on household and professional services during some of their visits," Cr Shields said.
The campaign focuses on the retail and hospitality sectors.
