Prepare your business for bushfire season
2 December 2025

We're urging all tourism businesses to be prepared for bushfire emergencies this summer, with the Tasmania Fire Service's 'Bushfire: Why risk it?' website providing Bushfire Plans, Safety Guides, and visitor materials in English and Mandarin.

Submissions are also open for the 2026 Off Season, with offers received by 12 December considered for key campaign marketing. Tasmania welcomed a record 339,800 winter visitors between May and August, spending $701 million across the state.

Plus more industry news including: the inaugural Newcastle to Hobart flight, Aurora Expeditions' Douglas Mawson maiden voyage, bird flu preparedness, Brand Tasmania's Producer Census, single permit consultation, six Tasmanian wins at the AHA Awards for Excellence, Edge of the World feedback, and Maria Island upgrades.
