Membership Renewal Everyone should have received their invoice for 2020 in November. We still have a number of members that still need to renew their membership. All offers and rebates such as TAB or Sky rebate and electricity deal are only available for members that have paid up. As a reminder, if you had a change in management or email, please contact us so we can keep you updated on industry relevant information.
General The last few weeks of January and February we have started member visits to see how you are all doing and if there are any concerns and/or if you require any assistance from us. The West Coast showed some positive signs when we visited with most venues being fully booked. We once again, through Energy ROI , have run our second electricity tender and as I write this we are collating all the information to present a price to those who participated. There
has been a great response with many members taking advantage of this opportunity. We will commence our regional forums again in March so keep an eye out for the invitations in your area. Our first round of forums will be East Coast 18th March , West Coast 24th March , North West Coast 25th March , Hobart 31st March and Launceston 7th April . We are also conducting a beverage survey which we haven’t done for several years. If you receive this survey, please take the time to participate in this, it should only take 5 minutes to complete. In late 2019 we increased the scope of venues being included in our occupancy statistics. The more venues we have contributing on a consistent basis the more valuable the data will be for our members. The information is also important to Tourism Tasmania and other government departments. 2020 has started off really well with the current Occupancy Statistics showing our accommodation division throughout the whole state has been quite busy. All areas of the state seemed to have many travellers, which should have been spilling out into our restaurants and cafés. Our Occupancy Statistics are an important tool for us to use for monitoring how we are all going but are also shown to various areas of government. If you would like to share your statistics, please email occstats@tha.asn.au Please contact me directly if you need assistance with your membership on 0439 119 343. Cheers. Nick Roney
