Premier Of Tasmania, Will Hodgman ARTICLE
As 2019 wraps up, it's great to have this opportunity to be able to communicate with the membership and supporters of the THA which remains the cornerstone association of our all-important hospitality sector here in Tasmania. For those of you at the coalface, I'm sure you are seeing the continuing good fortune that Tasmania is expericenceing as our visitation numbers and spend remains very positive. I am confident this trend will continue following the combination of the efforts of our tourism and hospitality sectors, coupled with the new and highly regarded "Come Down for Air' tourism campaign which we recently successfully unveiled. While my Government has seen the benefits of our partnership with THA through funding and outcomes of programs such as the Great Customer Experience, I am very aware that there is much to be done in the area of training to meet your sector's needs and to meet the demand that is growing in line with our extraordinary economic growth and burgeoning visitation. I'm pleased to say that we are making some good progress on this front with THA's leadership being instrumental in defining the sector's needs and the required response.
This is an issue that obviously affects the entire tourism industry and it is critical that we put in place the required resources to deliver. We understand the criticality of employing, upskilling and retaining staff to the commercial success of individual businesses and we also recognise that Tasmania can play a role positioning itself as a premium training hub that will further enhance its reputation as a destination that offers unsurpassed experiences, backed by outstanding service and attention. There will be more news on that in the New Year. Finally, I want to thank you all on behalf of my Government for your outstanding efforts during the last year contributing to Tasmania's unparalleled economic health and its envied standing as one of the world's most attractive desitnations to visit and enjoy. I also want to wish you all the very best over the festive season and I look forward to continuing our fantastic partnership into 2020 and beyond.
