Tourism Industry Council Tasmania CEO Luke Martin said it’s hard to think of another hotel developed anywhere in Australia that has had such a profound impact on its local community, as the opening of Wrest Point had on Tasmania. “I believe its greatest impact has been in the lives of so many Tasmanians first attracted to careers in cooking, hospitality, and events because of a venue like Wrest Point. “So many Tasmanians who got their first jobs at Wrest Point have gone on to have long, successful careers in tourism and hospitality in Tasmania, interstate, and overseas. “It’s still today the largest workplace in our industry, full of young Tasmanians undertaking cooking apprenticeships and starting careers in hospitality, who will go on to work in our industry for years to come.” Wrest Point General Manager Andrew Fox said importantly, they’ve just put the finishing touches on a $42 million renovation and have their eyes firmly on the future. “Hobart has experienced enormous growth and change since 1973… looking back over 50 years, you’d have to say Wrest Point is a place of community, entertainment, and celebration.” “We’re proud of the role that Wrest Point continues to play as a major employer and training ground for tourism and hospitality professionals,” - Federal Group Managing Director and CEO Greg Farrell
