Tourism & Business List
Tasmanian Tourism Market Overview.
Freycinet Peninsula, Bay of Fires and Port Arthur. HERITAGE ATTRACTIONS - Launceston and Hobart, in particular Battery Point and Salamanca, offer rich heritage experiences with walking trails and museums. Tasmania has 5 of Australia’s eleven World Heritage listed convict sites, providing an insight into early colonial life. There has also been sensitive repurposing of historic buildings, such as Hobart’s former IXL jam factory, now the Henry Jones Art Hotel. ECO ADVENTURE - Our unspoilt rivers, oceans, mountains, beaches and forests provide a wonderful opportunity to offer soft and hard core tourism adventures such as those offered by Bruny Island Cruises, The Maria Island Walk, Bay of Fires Walk, Franklin River Rafting, Derby Blue Pods Ride , and Three Capes Track. HOSPITALITY INDUSTRY - The hospitality industry is the third largest employer in Tasmania and Tasmania offers incredible gastronomic experiences and food and wine trails. VIBRANT ARTS AND CULTURAL SCENE - Tasmania has an active and thriving arts scene with strong participation rates. We attract national and international festivals, exhibitions and events. Tasmania is home to many outstanding venues, including The Museum of Old and New Art – MONA – Australia’s largest private museum and art gallery. MONA has received international acclaim and is a major tourist attraction. According to a recent Australia Council report, more artists and people are involved in creative industries per capita in Hobart than anywhere else in Australia.
‘Tasmania - Gateway of Opportunities’ Tasmania has a bold strategy to be a world-leading destination of choice and is fast rising to the top of everyone’s must-see list. Aspirational visitation targets are being achieved through increased investment in targeted marketing campaigns, growing air and sea access, investing in quality visitor infrastructure, developing diverse experiences and enhancing Tasmania’s brand. Tasmania is blessed with unspoilt locations, gourmet food and wine, an iconic heritage and a distinctly seasonal climate. Tasmania’s tourism industry has successfully leveraged the exceptional and natural advantages we offer as a result of our location, small population and history. Developments such as the award winning golf courses in northern Tasmania, Barnbougle Dunes, Barnbougle Lost Farm and Cape Wickham Links on King Island, and luxury accommodation developments such as Saffire, Pumphouse Point and Macq01, are a clear indication that Tasmania is in the market to attract high-value visitors looking for distinctive experiences as well as a demonstration of the ability of luxury tourism to draw visitors to regional Australia. Opportunities exist for investment in: • built infrastructure such as accommodation • heritage activities • adventure tourism • eco tourism • gastronomic experiences • recreational activities. Tasmania Offers: UNIQUE EXPERIENCES - Tasmania offers travellers one of the most unique and unspoilt locations in the world. Natural attractions - Pristine wilderness, rugged mountain ranges, pure white sandy beaches, breathtaking scenery and unique flora and fauna are major draw cards for visitors. ICONIC ATTRACTIONS - Tasmania has strong international awareness of our iconic attractions including our Wilderness World Heritage Area, Cradle Mountain,

Tasmanian Tourism Market Overview.

A total of 1.32 million people visited Tasmania on sched- uled air and sea services during the year ended Decem- ber 2019. This does not include cruise ship visitors. Total spending by visitors to Tasmania increased to $2.53 billion, up by 5%, at an average spend of $1,911 per visitor. Total nights were 10.82 million. The number of interstate visitors to Tasmania increased to 1.13 million, up by 4%, and the number of international visitors decreased to 293,000 - down 4%. Out of the total number of interstate visitors, an estimated 483,400 people visited Tasmania for a holiday; 306,000 came to visit friends or relatives; 216,600 were traveling for business reasons; and 34,600 visited Tasmania to attend a conference or convention.

For the year ending December 2022, there were 1,191,500 visitors to Tasmania, representing 90% of the level of visitors pre Covid (for the year ending December 2019). These visitors stayed 11.15 million nights in the state and spent $3.476 billion. Although international visitors have been increasingly returning to the state, visitation overall was overwhelm- ingly interstate visitors (93%) with 1,111,400 mainland Australians visiting the state. Direct Hobart to Auckland flights resumed in July 2022, re-opening a direct gateway to New Zealand and a single stop from North America. So in summary, Tasmania is performing extremely well and once our international visitors return to our shores, the State Government is confident that the 2019 record level of 1.32 million visitors will be surpassed.
