Tasmania is home to some of Australia’s great tourism icons and many other hidden treasures and bespoke experiences that encourage visitors to recharge, reconnect and ‘come down for air’.
The Tasmanian brand remains strong. Our quality tourism operators and the experiences they offer continue to drive record growth in visitor expenditure; with visitors staying longer and spending more.
In 2023, Tasmania’s visitor economy generated $3.85 billion in visitor spend; the highest ever.
In its second year, the Tasmanian Tourism Showcase returns bigger and better in 2024! The inaugural one-day event brought together 70 Southern Tasmania operators exhibiting to more than 300 attendees; including key tourism industry stakeholders and students pursuing careers in tourism and hospitality.
This year’s event will expand to a state-wide focus and include a consumer-focussed day, bringing together Tasmanian tourism operators and the community to showcase the variety of products and the regions in which they operate.
We acknowledge the Tasmanian Aboriginal people and their enduring custodianship of lutruwita / Tasmania. We honour 40,000 years of uninterrupted care, protection and belonging to these islands, before the invasion and colonisation of European settlement.
As a destination that welcomes visitors to these lands, we acknowledge our responsibility to represent to our visitors, Tasmania’s deep and complex history, fully, respectfully and truthfully.
We acknowledge the Aboriginal people who continue to care for this country today. We pay our respects to their elders, past and present. We honour their stories, songs, art, and culture, and their aspirations for the future of their people and these lands. We respectfully ask that tourism be a part of that future.
