Tasmania has firmly cemented its place on the national stage after this month hosting the Australian Hotels Association National Awards for Excellence. This year’s National awards were celebrated in Hobart, and recognised the best hospitality and accommodation businesses across the country. I would like to congratulate all the Tasmanian recipients of the prestigious Australian Hotels Association National Awards for Excellence, who did Tasmania proud. Among our award winners were MacQ01 Hotel, taking home the coveted Overall Hotel of the Year Accommodation Division, while Saffire Freycinet won the Deluxe Accommodation category.
Best Superior Accommodation was jointly won by the Ship Inn Stanley and Cataract of Paterson took out Outstanding Achievement in Training. While providing an opportunity for us to celebrate our industry leaders, these awards also gave us a chance to acknowledge the challenges the national sector has faced over the past two years. I am continuously impressed, and proud of not only the resilience of Tasmanian tourism and hospitality operators, but also their innovation and optimism as our industry and state moves from recovery to prosperity and growth.
