Q

Sign up to our Industry Newsletter



The Tasmanian tourism industry acknowledges 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 tourism industry 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.

East Coast Tourism Connect

East Coast Tasmania Tourism is hitting the road connecting with tourism operators across our region. Each month, the team will base ourselves at a new town across our region and host a casual drop-in session offering business support and advice. It's a great opportunity to meet with the team to share your news, get support with your ATDW profiles, leverage marketing campaigns, or simply join us for a coffee and a chat!

We will aim to bring with us an industry partner to each location so that you can also tap into some specialised advice. There's no need to book, however feel free to get in touch with Sally with any questions you may have [email protected]

Join us for the first session on Thursday 17th July, at Spring Bay Hotel, Triabunna, from 11am–2pm. We will be joined by Claudia Butler who is facilitating our Triabunna Tomorrow Project.
