Message from Steve old - CEO Tasmanian Hospitality Association It is with great pleasure that I present to you, the Tasmanian Hospitality Association’s 2021 THA Awards for Excellence nomination booklet. There is no doubt 2020 has been a difficult year for our industry and our community. The COVID-19 Pandemic has changed so many aspects of the way we live, work and operate and it has forced us to adapt, change and embrace a new normal in order to survive and thrive. The gala awards night is an important time for industry representatives to come together as we emerge from these challenges stronger, more resilient and more united than ever. I hope that the 2021 Awards for Excellence is an occasion to look forward to for you and your staff. Please read this nomination booklet carefully as there has been some exciting changes to the process following consultation with past attendees. If you haven’t already, I would encourage you all to consider nominating your business in the relevant categories to highlight and celebrate your achievements over this challenging period. The THA Awards for Excellence are respected and valued as a hallmark of the premium hospitality experience Tasmanians and tourists have come to know and expect. The 2021 awards are particularly special. The THA Awards for Excellence winners will not only be named Tasmania’s best in each respective category, but they will also represent their home state at the Australian Hotels Association National Awards to be held in Hobart in late 2021. Please book your table early - this much anticipated event is not to be missed. I wish you the best of luck! Steve Old CEO Tasmanian Hosptiality Association Message from The Chair of Judges and THA Life Member - Greg Astell On behalf of the judging panel, I extend a warm welcome to you all and am looking foward to leading this year’s judging panel made up of hospitality professionals from a diverse range of associated businesses and experiences. We understand the current environment which you are all working in and the challenges you are enduring. This year, a strong focus will be on businesses which strive to provide their guests and/or customers with an all-round experience which we as an industry, can be proud of. We have a broad market starting with our local customers through to hopefully our international visitors that we cater for, providing beautifully appointed rooms, using some of the best produce in the world being served in some of the finest venues in the country and presented by some of the best staff.
