Membership Update
While the winter months brought solid activity in some locations, many regional areas continue to feel the strain. A slowdown in tourism, combined with the ongoing cost of living crisis and the rising costs of doing business has made this a tough period for many operators across the state. Hospitality Tasmania continues to hear your concerns first-hand through venue visits and conversations with members. Regardless of the outcome of the next parliament, Hospitality Tasmania will continue to seek additional support for our sector – particularly for regional businesses doing it toughest.
• Membership Portal – Resources, events, and offers are available at www.hospitalitytasmania. com.au. Contact Nick or Anita if you need login assistance. • Beverage Survey – A new Beverage Survey has recently been released. We encourage all members to participate. Your input informs discussions with suppliers and helps us track purchasing trends.
Here to Help
If your business is facing challenges – whether it’s staffing, compliance, financial pressure or just uncertainty – please reach out. We are your voice, and we are here to help.
Event and Industry Engagements
AFL matches in Hobart and Launceston continue to provide valuable spikes in visitation. Many accommodation venues and local businesses report solid weekends when games are scheduled, a helpful lift in what is otherwise a quieter trading period. Throughout June and July we have been actively travelling to regions across the state. These direct visits are vital for understanding your current challenges and ensuring you are connected to tools, resources, and advocacy that can help.

Staff changes
As I am sure many of you are aware, there has been a change within the membership team to start the 2025/26 financial year with Jordan Lewtas recently finishing up with Hospitality Tasmania. Jordan built many strong relationships with our members during his tenure, and if he was your main point of contact, especially in the south of the state, you can reach out to Anita Lewis with any questions or concerns.
