Former Premier Of Tasmania, Will Hodgman ARTICLE 2020 shapes as a pivotal year for our great hospitality and tourism industries, as we develop the next version of T21. The close partnership between Government and industry is a proven success, and it’s the right model to take us forward for the next decade. We continue to see great results in growth of visitor expenditure which I know all of you in business welcome and appreciate. We have seen a modest fall in visitation to Tasmania for the year ending September 2019 but the sector still finds itself under some pressure to service the current demand and to operate in a way that optimises the business opportunity that our visitors provide. So we need to ensure hospitality is a career path of choice and opportunity in a highly competitive employment environment, and THA is well placed to continue to lead this drive. This will be my last report as the Minister for Tourism, Hospitality & Events. It has been a great privilege to work closely with an industry I love, and which is so important to our State. I want to thank you sincerely for your great support and advice during my time as Premier and Minister for Tourism and Hospitality. The industry is in great hands under the leadership of Paul, Steve and the team at the THA. I wish you all the very best for a prosperous 2020 and I look forward with confidence to watching the industry continue to thrive, and to play my part as a patron in many of our great venues. Cheers!
