Tasmanian Hospitality Review - April/May 2024

Labor Leader Dean Winter

Jobs the focus for the new Labor team

It’s important that we strike the right balance and, to do that, we need to work together.

Taking on the role of Labor Leader is a huge honour and I am excited about Tasmania’s future and the opportunities before us. The legacy of Labor Party luminaries like Jim Bacon and Eric Reece has been a big inspiration to me and, like them, I want to continue the Labor tradition of looking after Tasmanians and creating a strong economy. Under my leadership, the Labor Party stands first and foremost for growing our economy and I understand how important the tourism and hospitality sectors are to that. For businesses and workers in the tourism and hospitality industries, we want to continue building on the huge success they have become since Jim Bacon had the vision to see Tasmania’s potential as a tourist drawcard. Tourism has been a vital part of our economy for 20 years now and has taught us a lot about how industry can coexist with tourism and our clean, green reputation.

The tourism industry has worked with traditional industries to maximise their opportunities, and Tasmania has been the winner. And the Labor team and I believe that is the right approach for our beautiful state – working together to get the best results for everyone. I’ve already been to the West Coast, where I’m originally from – which is a great example of a tourism region that also has strong mining and aquaculture industries. As we move forward, I’ll be travelling all around Tasmania, meeting Tasmanians, listening to Tasmanians and working with Tasmanians to get the best results for everyone. And I look forward to meeting and hearing from the business owners and workers who have built our thriving tourism and hospitality industries, and working with them to keep them strong, healthy and successful.
