PRESIDENT UPDATE
The Awards for Excellence gala is always the highlight of our hospitality calendar, and this year’s event was nothing short of extraordinary. Once again, the evening brought together the very best of Tasmania’s hospitality industry to celebrate, connect, and shine a well-deserved spotlight on the remarkable people and venues that make our sector world-class. The gala has grown into a true showcase of excellence, and this year we raised the bar yet again. From the atmosphere in the gardens to the standard of finalists, it was a night that reflected the pride, passion, and resilience of our industry. Seeing so many first-time winners walk across the stage was particularly inspiring – it reinforces that our sector is constantly evolving, with fresh talent and innovation pushing hospitality forward. Events like this matter. They remind us that hospitality is more than just food, drink, and accommodation; it’s about creating experiences, building communities, and driving Tasmania’s visitor economy. Recognising the achievements of our people not only honours their dedication but also sets new benchmarks for what can be achieved. Each award tells a story of hard work, creativity, and excellence, and together they paint a powerful picture of an industry that continues to thrive despite its challenges. Of course, none of this would be possible without the incredible support of our corporate sponsors and
partners. Their ongoing commitment enables us to deliver a night of this scale and prestige, year after year. From helping us stage a world-class event to championing the businesses and individuals we celebrate, their backing ensures that the Awards for Excellence continue to grow and reflect the high standards of the industry we represent.
To all our winners and finalists, I extend my warmest congratulations. You are ambassadors for Tasmanian hospitality, and we wish you every success as you represent our state at the AHA National Awards in November. I have no doubt that Tasmania will again stand tall on the national stage. Finally, thank you to everyone who contributed to making the gala such a success, our sponsors, partners, judges, and of course, our members. This celebration is about you, and we look forward to making next year’s event even bigger and better.
