Goal 3 – Hospitality and the Tasmanian Brand TASMANIAN HOSPITALITY INDUSTRY 2030 PLAN
As we enter the rebuilding phase
TASMANIA’S SPORTING AND COMMUNITY CLUBS ARE THRIVING
TASMANIAN HAS A VIBRANT EVENTS AND FESTIVAL SECTOR Events and festivals are an essential part of the Tasmanian lifestyle. They provide Tasmanians with the opportunity to experience their own food, wine and produce, experience our own musicians and artists, learn about our agricultural industries, see the work of our craftsmen and craftswomen, learn about our indigenous cultures and learn about the many other cultures that have come to call Tasmania home. Experiencing the thrill of the V8s, and the grandeur of the super maxis as they race up the Derwent are also iconic pastimes. Importantly our local events and festivals play a key role in bringing our communities together, including local fun runs, sporting carnivals, weekend markets, charity events and fund-raisers, quiz nights and many, many more. Hospitality has an essential role to play in bringing these events and festivals to life, not just in terms of the provision of quality food, wine and beverages, but also in providing the venues and the support and sponsorship needed to make them successful. In return, these events and festivals create demand for the industry across the state and importantly, in the rural, regional and remote areas. Developing a successful events and festival calendar is therefore essential and will require close collaboration with the Tasmanian Government, local councils and the hospitality industry, to develop a schedule that not only supports our local communities but attracts visitors from interstate and around the world
Tasmania’s sporting and community clubs are at the very heart of our local communities. They are essential to our healthy way of life, to that sense of belonging, of being part of something, where we share in our endeavours and, most of all, important in managing our mental health and wellbeing. Hospitality plays a vital role in helping our sporting and community clubs thrive. Pulling a beer at the clubhouse after the game, serving pies and sandwiches at the tuck shop for the junior sports day, a place for the veterans to meet and remember their comrades, sponsorship of guernseys for the local team, a place for the local sports committee to meet, and much, much more. The hospitality industry will continue to work closely with the Tasmanian Government and sporting and community clubs and their associations, to help ensure our clubs industry thrives and plays its vital role in fostering healthy Tasmanian communities.
(from Coronavirus), there is an important opportunity to support our local music and performing arts industries, by actively promoting musicians and performance artists in our venues.
