WELCOME BACK TASSIE!

THA CEO Steve Old

N ot long after the Covid-19 shutdowns began, the Tasmanian Hospitality Association began planning for reopening. At the time, we didn’t know how long it would take until our hospitality venues could reopen or what reopening would look like. What we did know, however, was that our venues would be coming out of a long, tough period and that they’d continue to be challenged by the circumstances surrounding the pandemic. We also recognised that Tasmanians would be eager to reconnect with each other while remaining cautious about their safety. We could see that Tasmanians should be encouraged to catch up on what they had missed – connecting with each other and enjoying our hospitality experiences once again. The Tasmanian Government agreed, and we worked in partnership with Tourism Tasmania to develop the Welcome Back campaign. The Welcome Back campaign is a state-wide advertising campaign that showcases the vibrancy of Tasmania’s hospitality industry.

It welcomes Tasmanians back to hospitality venues and encourages them to get out to their local venues to enjoy catching up with their friends, families and colleagues again. The campaign is featured on television, radio and digital platforms and includes a toolkit of resources for hospitality businesses. It’s the first time we have seen a significant campaign promoting the hospitality industry. What I love most about this campaign is that it features real Tasmanian hospitality businesses and personalities. The production team travelled throughout the state to capture real-life hospitality people in action and the result is spectacular. Tasmanian people in hospitality – this is you! Be proud of your resilience, your tenacity and your strength. But mostly, be proud of what you bring to Tasmanian communities. You help make the Tasmanian way of life remarkable.
