the year. Definitely the national market was a really big one for us, specifically Queensland. I think the Queenslanders just got a taste for the great Tassie seafood and once we had a few groups through the word of mouth spread like wildfire up there, Queensland was really beneficial for the tourism offering once it did open back up.” The victory was the second year in a row a Tasmanian business has taken the title at the AHA Awards, following on from The Cove’s success last year, and was one of four on the night for Tasmanian businesses. Furneaux Restaurant made it back-to-back success in the Best Restaurant – Regional category, Cataract on Paterson was crowned Best Marketed Hotel – General Division while the Outstanding Community Service and Achievement award went to The Old Woolstore. It also continued a whirlwind few months for Shane and his team. At the THA Awards in October, TWSA won the Best Hospitality Experience category, they were successful at the Seafood Industry Tasmania Awards and also landed bronze at the Tourism Tasmania awards – well deserved justification for all the hard work the company has done to reimage itself with the Tasmanian landscape. “It’s been a really big award season… we’re going to have a really big push about how well we’ve done and all of the sector groups that have supported us and given us the platform to showcase what we do. Between the THA and AHA, it is probably the highest accolade that we’ve ever got.”
