Moving Tasmanian hospitality forward
of employment in our communities. The economic impact of a strong hospitality industry extends beyond just the direct jobs we create, it supports tourism, local businesses, and regional economies, making us a cornerstone of Tasmania’s economic health. The political uncertainty of the past few weeks has highlighted the importance of clear, consistent leadership that supports the growth of businesses, provides certainty to investors, and ensures that we are equipped to face the challenges ahead. We will continue to work closely with members of parliament to find the solutions for the issues that matter to our members. If we all work together without bias or preconceived ideas, I’m sure we can achieve long lasting outcomes that benefit Tasmania and secure a bright future for generations to come. What we need now is consistency – a government that will not only focus on the immediate needs of our sector but also make long-term investments that will enable our businesses to succeed. Let’s move forward with confidence, knowing that no matter the political outcome, our collective commitment to a vibrant, thriving hospitality industry will continue.
As we reflect on the outcome of the recent state election and the political developments that have followed, it’s clear that Tasmania’s hospitality industry is navigating through a period of transition. Parliament has now resumed, and political uncertainties have been tested. As these events unfold, one thing remains certain: Hospitality Tasmania will continue to advocate strongly for our members and the broader hospitality sector, regardless of the outcome of political contests. While the return of Parliament on August 19 has seen some early turbulence, political stability is critical to the success of our industry. The hospitality sector thrives best in an environment where businesses have the confidence to invest, plan, and grow. Without that stability, we risk dampening the very energy that drives our state forward. As we know, hospitality is a vital contributor to Tasmania’s economy. As the third-largest employing industry in the state, we provide jobs to thousands of Tasmanians, offering opportunities for career growth across a wide range of roles. From front-of-house staff to chefs, hotel managers to tour operators, the hospitality sector is a key pillar
