LEADING AND CONTRIBUTING

Tasmania's tourism industry has always been shaped by the people who show up, not just to run their own businesses, but to contribute to something bigger.

If you've been in the industry for a while, you're in a position to help set its direction. That might mean joining an industry body, mentoring someone newer to the sector, entering awards that raise the bar for everyone, or simply staying connected to the conversations that matter.

This section is for operators who are ready to give back. You'll find information on how to take an active role in industry leadership, how to get involved in awards and recognition programs, and how to stay across the news, events and developments that keep you informed and connected.

Awards and recognition

Entering awards is more than the chance to win. It's an opportunity to benchmark your business, gain feedback from experienced professionals, and build your profile with visitors and partners.

Stay connected

Staying across industry news, research and policy developments is part of contributing at this level. It keeps you informed about the issues that affect your region and your sector, and means you can bring that knowledge to the conversations and forums you're part of. If you haven't already, subscribe to the industry newsletters that matter most to your business.
