Membership Update
As we approach the busy season, it is important to acknowledge the testing times our members have gone through over the last few months, as Tasmania was hit with a tough winter/spring, with cost of living, overseas travel and high interest rates taking their toll. There is a strong optimism on the upcoming months with occupancy forecasting looking strong and Christmas and New Year functions coming up. This month saw the inception of four crucial subcommittees — Accommodation, Pub/Tavern, Restaurants and Cafes, and Micro Brewers/Distilleries. These platforms are not just for dialogue but for innovation and mutual support. They’ll address sector- specific needs and provide strong feedback to guide the THA’s policy and strategy.

Recently the membership team caught up with the judges from our Awards for Excellence. Their expertise shaped discussions on refining the judging process for 2024. We shared feedback from the members on the process and criteria, which will help fine tune our awards next year. We will always continue to improve the experience for our members. All our members would have received their 2024 renewal via email. If you haven’t, please contact our membership team.

We wish everyone a safe and happy Christmas and New Year period, and look forward to starting next year with a bang.
